All We Have Is Now

(album: Fishbone - 1985)

All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
Don't take it for granted that time will allow
I suggest that you act as if
All we have is now

Now, are we present and accounted for?
Creating whatever is to be in store
Keep it fun, never a chore
We stay in play, now and forevermore
Now, at the moment can we take advantage
Opportunities seem quite enchanted
Harvest of seeds long ago planted
Is it in your favor, the field is now slanted?

All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
Don't take it for granted that time will allow
I suggest that you act as if
All we have is now

Now, with all immediacy
Coming to conclusions with expediency
With no deference to what has come previously
Or what the future holds, even conveniently
Now, presently we all exist
And no matter what reality persists
The universe may only consist
Of a here and now that's most often missed

All we have is now
All we have is now
Don't take it for granted that time will allow
I suggest that you act as if
All we have is now

All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
All we have is now
It's the constantly unfolding, magical moment, called the ever present
It's the constantly unfolding, magical moment, called the ever present
It's the constantly unfolding, magical moment, called the ever present, now
