Now and Here

I remember people on the stoop Bangin out a melody Adorning it with poetry Rapture in the chaos of us Bleeding out our lives In stream of conciousness and ecstasy Holdin on to moments Holdin on to some things Once temporary And finite Important Impassioned Incredible And beautiful Inspiring And real How did we become so self absorbed and so distracted From everything that matters And everything that feels Worthy of the air we breath Trusted by the world we leave behind For our children And their children We deserve to be something We deserve to be more We can make a decision We kick open that door Stand up for a solution Stand against your fear Be that revolution Be the now and the here Here we are today and things have changed I hardly recognise the world Too many of us a lack a basic empathy So i just wanna practice what i preach To everybody when i meet them on the street to shake a hand C'mon take my hand Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you Now i'm not religious as a rule But i believe in something greater Greater than the you and i apart I believe in everyone of us united as a people Together there is nothing we can't overcome as one Together there is nothing we can't overcome as one We deserve to be something We deserve to be more We can make a decision We kick open that door Stand up for a solution Stand against your fear Be that revolution Be the now and the here We deserve to be something We deserve to be more We gonna make a decision We kick open that door Stand up for a solution Stand against your fear Be that revolution Be the now and the Be the now and the here Be that revolution Ohhh
