Embracing the Present: Hayden Joseph's Anthem to Living in the Moment
Lyrics
I'm from a generation
I belong to a generation.
That sure don't like to wait
This generation dislikes waiting.
Taught those who wanna make it
I was taught that those striving for success don’t take breaks.
Won't be taking breaks
I am committed to continuous effort.
Well, I've been caught up in the rush
I have been engrossed in haste and busyness.
My mind don't like to turn off much
My mind remains constantly active.
It's tearing me apart
This constant rush is causing inner turmoil.
Today I'm gonna start
Today marks the beginning of change.
Living in the moment
To live presently without worry.
And catching my breath
Regaining composure and calmness.
Thinking about now
Focusing on the current moment.
Instead of what's next
Instead of pondering the future.
Pumping the breaks
Slowing down before making significant changes.
Before shifting my gears
Prior to altering directions abruptly.
I just wanna be
I desire simplicity and contentment.
I just wanna be
Emphasis on wanting to experience joy, connection, and love in the present moment.
Laughing and listening to people I'm with
-Falling in love without fearing the end
-This minute we're living in is all that's clear
-I just wanna be
-I just wanna be
-Here
Expressing the strong desire to be present in the current moment.
I just wanna be
-I just wanna be
-Here
-No more spending every day
No longer dedicating every day to planning for the future.
Mapping out tomorrow
Deciding to be more settled in the present.
I'm gonna settle in this time and place
Having faith that the future will unfold naturally.
And trust the rest will follow
Continuous haste is causing a disconnection from loved ones.
This running's got me losing touch
The constant rush is causing a distance from dear ones.
With the people that I love
Losing touch with loved ones due to being overly busy.
It's tearing us apart
This haste is causing relational strain.
Today I'm gonna start
Today signifies the initiation of change.
Living in the moment
Reiteration of the desire to live in the present, connect with others, and experience love without worry.
And catching my breath
-Thinking about now
-Instead of what's next
-Pumping the breaks
-Before shifting my gears
-I just wanna be
Strong emphasis on the longing to be fully present in the moment.
I just wanna be
-Laughing and listening to people I'm with
-Falling in love without fearing the end
-This minute we're living in is all that's clear
-I just wanna be
-I just wanna be
-Here
-I just wanna be
Reiteration of the strong desire to be present in the moment.
I just wanna be
-Here
-I just wanna be
Expressing the desire to be present and engaged.
I just wanna be
-I don't wanna fall behind
Not wanting to lag behind or lose pace.
I've got to walk a fine line
Understanding the need to balance and navigate carefully.
Cuz I have to know, what matters most
Recognizing the importance of what's already possessed.
Is what's already mine
Realization that I've taken on too many responsibilities.
And I've been taking on too much
I've been burdened with excessive tasks.
It's time to say enough is enough
It's time to acknowledge that I cannot do everything.
I've had a change of heart
My perspective has shifted, and I'm ready for change.
Today, I'm gonna start
Living in the moment
Reiteration of the desire to live in the present, connect with others, and experience love without fear.
And catching my breath
-Thinking about now
-Instead of what's next
-Pumping the breaks
-Before shifting my gears
-I just wanna be
-I just wanna be
Strong emphasis on the longing to be fully present in the moment.
Laughing and listening to people I'm with
-Falling in love without fearing the end
-This minute we're living in is all that's clear
-I just wanna be
-I just wanna be
-Here
-Living in the moment
Expressing the desire to be present and engaged without worrying about the future.
And catching my breath
-I just wanna be
-I just wanna be
-Thinking about now
-Instead of what's next
-I just wanna be
-I just wanna be
Emphasis on the importance of staying in the present moment.
Keep pumping the breaks
-And not shifting my gears
-I just wanna be
-I just wanna be
-Cuz the minute we're living in is all that's clear
-I just wanna be
-I just wanna be
-Here
