lyrics

music & lyric by Matthew Levine

If you live with anxiety, you live in the future
If you live with depression, you live in the past
Be here now. Be here now. Be here now, not later!

Because later will never be the perfect occasion
and yesterday's dead and gone with the wind
Be here now. Be here now. Be here now,

And savor the moment with relish and mirth
Milk it and bilk it for all it is worth
Get yourself grounded by walking bare-toed
Turn off your cell phone or put it on airplane mode

Life is your follower and you have been friended
The grass will be greener wherever you go
Be here now. Be here now. Be here now, not when it's convenient!

(Instrumental)

Be here now. Be here now. Be here now, and

Turn off your monkey-mind, focus and then,
Get out your yoga mat, tune into zen
Be in the present and soon you will see
When you talk to yourself, you're pretty good company (even if others are staring)

If you try to do everything, you'll just get distracted
Give your attention to the mission at hand
Be here now. Be here now. Be here now…
Oh my God! I spaced out! I took a bite out of my keys and tried to start my car with a banana!
Be here now! Tada!
