Here & Now
Steve Vai Lyrics

Here we stand
We are present and accounted for, ready to face whatever challenges come our way.

As time keeps turning
Time is constantly moving forward, and we must keep pace with it to keep up and succeed.

Near and far
The challenges we face are both close to us and distant, and we must be prepared to address both.

The fires are burning
There are many problems that must be addressed, and we cannot ignore them. The situation is urgent.

Victory
We have the potential to emerge from this situation triumphant, but we cannot do so without effort and sacrifice.

The endless passion
We must be passionate about our cause and recognize that there is no limit to the amount of effort we can expend to succeed.

For a cause
We must be working towards a greater goal that motivates us to persevere in the face of difficulty.

We will take an action
We cannot simply sit back and hope that things will improve on their own; we must be proactive and take meaningful steps towards change.

I'm not a savior
There is no one person who can solve all our problems or bear responsibility for them alone.

I'm not a king
No one person should have complete control or power over others in this situation.

There's only one voice in your head
Ultimately, you are in control of your own thoughts and actions, and you must act according to your own values and beliefs.

But I feel your anger
I understand the emotions that motivate you to take action, and I share your sense of urgency and frustration.

I speak your peace
I support your desire for a peaceful and just solution to the problems we face.

Freedom time is here
The moment has come to fight for the freedoms that we believe in and make them a reality.

So are you ready for the Here & Now
Are you ready to take meaningful action in this moment and work towards a better future?

Sacrifice
We must be willing to give up our own comfort and safety for the greater good.

The soul needs baring
We must be willing to confront our own flaws and shortcomings to be effective agents of change.

Bring new life
We must work towards creating a better future for ourselves and future generations.

To a world worth sparing
We must recognize the value of our environment and other living beings and take action to protect them.

I'm not a prophet
No one can predict the future or guarantee success, but we must have faith in our ability to effect change.

I'm not a prince
No one person or group is inherently superior to others and everyone must be treated equally.

The ego dies with the flesh
We must be willing to let go of our own selfish desires and recognize that we are all connected.

You are the garden
Each of us has the potential to cultivate our own growth and contribute to a greater whole.

I am the seed
I am just one small part of a larger effort to bring change and progress.

Harvest time is here
The time has come to reap the benefits of our hard work and progress towards our goals.

But tell me are you ready for the Here & Now
Are you prepared to take advantage of the progress we have made to continue fighting for a better future?

Courage
We must be brave and willing to face adversity and uncertainty to bring about lasting change.

One for all
We must recognize that we are all interconnected and work towards a common goal of greater justice and freedom.

Time is fleeting
We must act with urgency to effect change before it is too late.

Hear the call
We must listen to our own sense of purpose and the needs of those around us to guide our actions.

Our world is bleeding
There are many problems affecting our society and environment that are in need of immediate intervention.

There are no saviors
No one person can bear the responsibility of solving all our problems and we must work together to create meaningful change.

There are no kings
No one person or group should have complete power or control over others; we must work towards greater equality and cooperation.

The power lies in your hands
Every individual has the potential to bring about significant change and contribute to a better future.

So you be the fire
Use your passion and energy to effect change and motivate others to do the same.

The light without heat
We must work towards peaceful and just solutions that address problems without perpetuating violence or discord.

Precious time is here
We must recognize that time is limited and work towards change with a sense of urgency and purpose.

So tell me are you ready for the Here & Now
Are you prepared to put in the work and effort necessary to bring about meaningful change in this moment?

Freedom
We must fight for the freedoms and rights that we believe in and make them a reality in our society.
