Right Here

Thinking far away in the clouds But our place is deep in the crowd In the pain and corruption We find our voice to beat the destruction Don't give me happily ever after Crying with anger, hurting with laughter, Is where I want to be Right here and free Always trying to get somewhere Feeling the burn of society's stare Get away from the binds of habit and system Not lost in my head where no one can listen Don't want the brick and mortar Just the dust, the bees and the working day shorter More teachings of the soul Focus our minds on sustainable goals Don't give your time to the corporate pig Every little act is what creates the big Those in power wouldn't have power Without the people over which they tower Always trying to get somewhere Feeling the burn of society's stare Get away from the binds of habit and system Not lost in my head where no one can listen Open my eyes open wide Acceptance melts the urge to hide And if I stop chasing that chase we face Get out of the rat race Reflecting life moment to moment Gaining pennies the universe spent Free my mind of time and space Know myself in the mirror I face
