Lyrics
we're always looking down the road that lies ahead
tomorrow's fears are spinning 'round inside our heads
what' if all our thoughts could change the world instead?
we question wisdom in the grand design
join the search for any meaning we can find
trouble is that we're all looking for a sign
when now is what we are
just know the world is spinning safely at your feet
show up and vow to be right here until you leave
no moment, past or future could ever be so sweet
'cause now is what we are
now is what we are
instead of opening every door to find relief
just take the gifts that have been left here at your feet
and look with love on every stranger that you meet
'cause now is what we are
now is what we are
