about

Books change many lives - The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle inspired Stew to write about the power of being present and the journey it can take to get to where you are right now. The first line of the song is a quote from Malcolm Maclaren

lyrics

Be in the now
S.Simpson

I got lost in the forest so I burned down the trees
I’m giving up on God cause there’s pain in my knees
I’m giving up on drugs and I’ll cut down on gin
You might give up on me
I’ll never give up and I’ll never give in
You know I’ll never give

Got my feet in the earth
And my eye to the sky
I’ve turned it around
Found meaning in life
Sex drugs and rock and roll
I survived in the darkest hole
I got out by being now
Gotta be in the now
Gotta be in the now
Gotta be in the now

Too many signs and distractions
Too many choices to take
Too many times have I listened to lies
And I’ve prayed for a greater escape
I guess that I wanted to be like James Dean
I’m on board for the easiest ride
I’m finding hope for the children of men
Who doubted their dreams all their lives

Got my feet in the earth
And my eye to the sky
I’ve turned it around
Found meaning in life
Sex drugs and rock and roll
I survived in the darkest hole
I got out by being now
Gotta be in the now
Gotta be in the now
Gotta be in the now

It’s always waiting watching every move
A shape in the shadow that wants me to lose
I can’t back down, can’t let it win
Found strength in the sound
I’ll never give in
I’ll never give in
I’ll never give in
