Living In The Moment


 Living In The Moment 
   by Jason Mraz

   If this life is one act
Why do we lay all these traps?
We put them right in our path
When we just wanna be free

I will not waste my days

Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
That will not happen to me

So I just let go of what I know I don't know

And I know I'll only do this by
Living in the moment
Living our life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
Living in the moment

I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done

I let my past go past
And now I'm having more fun
I'm letting go of the thoughts
That do not make me strong
And I believe this way can be the same for everyone

And if I fall asleep

I know you'll be the one who'll always remind me
To live in the moment
To live my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I can't walk through life facing backwards

I have tried
I tried more than once to just make sure
And I was denied the future I'd been searching for
But I spun around and hurt no more
By living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm living in the moment

I'm living my life
Just taking it easy
With peace in my mind
Got peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Oh, wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm living in the moment

I'm living my life
Oh, easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
Peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I'm living in the moment
Do not dwell in the past, 
do not dream of the future, 
concentrate the mind on 
the present moment.
~The Buddha

“Life can be found only 
in the present moment. 
The past is gone, 
the future is not yet here, 
and if we do not go back to 
ourselves in the present moment, 
we cannot be in touch with life.
~Thich Nhat Hanh
