The Here and Now
Madball Lyrics

I’ve never rested on my laurels
I have always been driven to achieve and have never been complacent

I can’t resist
I am unable to resist the call to action

Can’t rest
I cannot relax or be at ease when there is still work to be done

We’re being tested in this age of quarrel
We are faced with many challenges and conflicts in these modern times

It’s all a test
Life is a test, and we must face its challenges to grow and succeed

Life’s a test
Life presents us with challenges and obstacles to overcome

My roots are steeped in the past
I have a deep connection to my heritage and history

But the future, it’s so vast
The possibilities for the future are endless and full of potential

There’s a task I must grasp
I have an important responsibility that I must take on

It’s right in front of me
The task is within my reach and I must seize it

I can’t let it pass
I cannot let this opportunity slip away

We belong to the here and now
We are part of the present moment and must focus on the challenges of today

Seize the moment or cease to exist
It is critical to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, or risk losing them forever

Sounds dramatic
This may sound extreme, but it is the reality of our situation

No, I am a realist
I am not being overly dramatic, but rather facing the truth of our situation

I believe in destiny, yes
I have faith that things will work out as they are meant to

I believe hard work is the catalyst
I believe that success comes from putting in the effort and taking action

The past is the past
We cannot change what has already happened

The nostalgia will always last
We will always have fond memories of the past, but cannot remain stuck there

We can stay here and bask
We can choose to remain in the comfort of the past

Or take this day before it comes to pass
Alternatively, we can choose to take action and make the most of the present moment

I can’t live in the past tense
I cannot continue to dwell on what has already happened

I can’t see what the future will bring
I cannot predict what will happen in the future

All I have is this moment
All we have is the present moment, and we must make the most of it

Right now
Immediately, without delay

We belong
We are part of something greater than ourselves

We belong to the here and now
We are part of the present moment and must embrace it fully

The here and now
The present moment, the only moment that truly matters
