Be Here Now

Each day I end my toil
I long to close my eyes for sleep
Cause that means one more day
Gone by, It seems to just creep

Each day away
Seems so long
I would say
Be here now
I need to be here
Just think how
Live where I am
Be here now
I need to be here now

I just want the days to
Go faster because they are so slow
Creeping by as though chained
My mind is captive to that future glow

Each day away
Seems so long
I would say
Be here now
I need to be here
Just think how
Live where I am
Be here now
I need to be here now

I know I gotta chill out
Enjoy the now that I am in
Hard as it may so seem
As this time goes by in the now and then

Each day away
Seems so long
I would say
Be here now
I need to be here
Just think how
Live where I am
Be here now
I need to be here now
Be here now...

I wrote this because of how I knew I needed to live while a girl was away for the summer. I just got so antsy and would write every day. I just needed to enjoy where the Lord had me and to "live where I am, be here now."
