Right Here
Robbie Rivera Feat Jesus Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A woman on the radio talks about revolution
When it's already passed her by
Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about
You know it feels good to be alive

I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now

There is no other place I wanna be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history

Oh, I saw the decade in
When it seemed the world could change at the blink of an eye
And if anything
Then there's your sign
Of the times

I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now

I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
There is no other place I wanna be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history

Right here, right now
There is no other place I wanna be
Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up from history

Right here, right now
There is no other place I wanna be

Right here, right now
Watching the world wake up
