Right Here, Right Now (music and lyrics by Tamra Hayden)

I thought I was fearless. I thought I was strong.
But, I'm finding I'm just masochistic!
In the back of my mind I must still believe that I can leap tall building in a single bound!
But, I don't think so...not anymore.
These super human tricks will land me in an urn.
When will I learn.
The American dream of always wanting more.
This hunger never satisfied!
Grabbing for that bigger, better remote control whatever has got me tied up inside.
To what height will I climb to attain it?
To what depth will I stoop to conquer my fears?
To what length will I hurl my poor tired body to get that ever elusive,
ever elusive brass ring? (of thee I sing na na na na na na na now)
How far am I gonna run away from home to find my dream?
How far am I gonna have to run away to find me?
When right here is where I am.
Right here in my chest is where my heart is.
Right here inside this moment is the most precious time.
Is na na na na na na na now
Right Here, Right na na na na na na na now!

I think of myself as a giving person and I know I'm not the only one.
I have this thing about saving the whole world, 'cause that's my idea of fun!
I'd like to be an angel, but the truth is, I can't strap these wings on on my own.
So, meet me where I am, we can have it all!
Just not all at the same time.
If we work together to save this poor tired planet,
we could have it all.
I've had this dream that I could do much more and it wells up inside.
I'm open now to possibilities that I've tried so hard to deny.
To what height will I climb to attain peace?
To what depth will I stoop to conquer these fears?
To what length will I go to let my love light flow?
I've gotta start Right Here, Right Now!
Right Here, Right Now!

Not out there, not later, but Right Here, Right Now!
Not someday, not maybe, not only if the check clears,
not tomorrow or in a few years...
But, right here. Right Here, Right na na na na na na na now.
'Cause right here is where I am.
Right here in my chest is where my heart is.
Right here inside this moment is the only time.
Is na na na na na na na now
Right here, right na na na na na na na now!
...there's no time like the present, baby:)
