All We Ever Have Is Now

Story Behind The Song

Now is all there is.

Song Description

After a tasty Spanish accoustic guitar riff, a friendly Jamaican rhythm kicks in that carries the song almost to its conclusion. In between, the lyrics showcase a twist on the idea of being in the moment, describing "Now" as unbounded, containing everything, past, present and future and that all this is nothing other than who we are.

Lyrics

All we ever have is Now
All we ever have is Now
All we ever have is Now
Wake up, wake up

Where we stand is where we are
Each moment ends right when it starts
And can't be woven in a chain
To hold the flow of Time
There's only Now

All we ever have is Now
All we ever have is Now
All we ever have is Now
Wake up, wake up

Now contains the past
Contains the future, everything
And every possibility
Is right within our reach
Right here, right now

All we ever have is Now
All we ever have is Now
All we ever have is Now
Wake up, wake up

Everything is always changing
Nothing ever stays forever
Now

It's the stillness in the heart
The Silence where all knowing starts
And love beyond imagining
An ocean without shores
There's only Now

All we ever have is Now
All we ever have is Now
All we ever have is Now
Wake up, wake up

All we have is Now, is Now

It's who, it's who we are
It's who, it's who we are
