Here.Me.Now

Listen baby, I don’t have time to waste
You see, I’m an immigrant in these here States
I have a few moments but not one to spare, ‘cause you see the game here ain’t fair
Back home there’s a freedom I can’t compare...
But I was brought here by mon père, arrivé avec mon frère, and was told this life was one to bear
Ever since then, I’ve been searching for the liberty which they speak of every morning in elementary
Didn’t find it in high school either and college turned out to be hell without liberties spell
Now they say I’ve got it on my own…
I’m grown
But I don’t know whether I should be an alien back home or continue to feel alienated here
So, I’m sorry my dear if I haven’t made it clear
The games you want to play will have to wait since I haven’t been made a proper place to sit
I’m not even allowed on the premises
Where can I unfold my arms and observe the race?
I know how these things go and you continue to stop me for these words
You implement these measures to calculate if you’re still ahead
Listen baby, I don’t have time to waste and all you do is wait...
My soul aches with every second of the clock winding down
Can’t you see there’s no more time?
We’ve fallen out of line and all you want to talk about is the dime
Baby there are no more times
Just this one Time and I will not let it go to waste
Freedom awaits
My love, true freedom awakes
