Here and Now

It took a lot to get to here

Sweat runs down the day laborer

Sleeps in the sun while all are moving

Drops her off to school to go back to sleep

Turning in the covers thoughts win me over

Can’t sleep thinking with my brain turned off

She ends her day of learning my dreams go to sleep dreaming

Back in the soil of everyday life

Brain can’t sleep my body suffers

Back in the soil of everyday life

Brain can’t sleep my body suffers that

Dreams are heaven when you’re laying down

Scary thoughts wake me up and give me doubts

Dreams are heaven when you’re laying down

Clock goes off another day begins

Here we go starting from the start again

Clock goes off another day begins

Here we go starting from the start again

Dreams are heaven when you’re laying down

It took a lot to get to here and now
