Here and Now

This is not your home
But it’s where you lay your head down
So make it your own
As best you can

This is not your man
But he’s the one you put your arms ‘round
So love him true
As best you can

This is not your life
But it’s the one that you are livin’
So breathe it out and breathe it in
Just one day at a time

This is not where you thought you
Would end up but here you are
Here and now

I lost my stripes in a field of zebras
I lost my spots in a field of cows
And when I went back to the fields to find them
They said, ‘You’re not one of us, no;
You’re not one of us now.’

I lost my black in a sky of ravens
I lost my white in a sky of doves
And when I went back to the skies to find them
They said, ‘You’re not one of us, no;
You’re not one of us love.’

This is not your home
But it’s where you lay your head down
So make it your own
As best you can

This is not your man
But he’s the one you put your arms ‘round
So love him true
As best you can

This is not your life
But it’s the one that you are livin’
So breathe it out and breathe it in
Just one day at a time

This is not where you thought you
Would end up but here you are
Here and now

I lost my shell at the water’s edge
I lost my skin in water well above my head
And when I went back to the shore to find them
The shore wasn’t so sure anymore

So I lost my way and went out to sea
I lost my will when I lost my way
And let the waves crash right over me
Thinking, ‘Lost is the last thing I’ll ever be’,
Sinking…
‘Lost is the last thing I’ll ever be,
Oh no, lost is the last thing I’ll ever be.’

La da da…

I lost myself when I found my love
I found myself when I lost my love
I found true love when I found myself
And that’s enough
Here and now

This is not your home
But it’s where you lay your head down
So make it your own
As best you can

This is not your man
But he’s the one you put your arms ‘round
So love him true, girl
As best you can

This is not your life
But it’s the one that you are livin’ in
So breathe it out and breathe it in
Just one day at a time

This is not where you thought you
Would end up but here you are
Here and now

This is not where you thought you
Would end up
But you are where you are
Here and now
