Right Now

Right Now

Right now I’m sitting here thinking
About some one who’s right now seeing
The that the world right now is not what it seems
And right now the world is getting even more unsafe
Because right now some one in a office is planning a war
With a country that is right now just thinking of ways
To feed its people that are starving right now

Right now I’m counting the days when I can leave this city
So that at this time right now on another day I can be sitting with my child
Who is probably being told that I don’t love her right now
When right now she is at the center of my thoughts
Even though right now I can’t afford to travel to see her
Right now I putting my money together so I can move a lot nearer

Right now I can care less about tomorrow
Because right now my focus is on 10 years from right now
So right now I’m putting my life on that path
And right now I can feel the bumps in my road
That will slow me down but I can’t let that worry me right now
Because I have a life to live in a memory of many that aren’t here right now
And right now I can only live in this moment and get ready for tomorrow

I want to change the world but I realize I can’t do it all right now
So I’ll study plot and formulate my actions right now
While that person I’m thinking of right now
Is beginning to see that right now the world isn’t what she thought it was
And right now as things in the world get crazier
Because a crazy people in offices are planning a war right now
With a country that is right now trying to find food
For the people that live there that are hungry right now

Right now I’m just readying my mind with all the things I learn

Right NOW
