(intro)
The moment that is here right now is free-form, spiral leaping flames,
The smack, crack, deadly pop of lead becoming pure.

The moment that is here right now is intuitive rhythm and spontaneous pulse.
It is soul in hand on heart, it is Spirit throbbing true.

The moment that is here right now is trust, with pounding hearts and open eyes,
We are growing roots that stretch down and faith that reaches out.

The moment that is here right now is heartbeat, dancing, kissing union,
Embracing Yes! our highest vision –
As we celebrate all that is right here, and right now.

(chorus – 4x)
The moment we have been praying for is here
Right here, right now!
(descant)
Here and now, here and now

(verses)
Here is the minute, and now is the moment,
and it is passing by –
I’m the clock ticking, I’m the baby kicking,
I am the child’s cry.

Here is the minute and now is the moment
and it is passing by –
I’m the fire burning, I’m the heart yearning,
I am the lover’s sigh.

Here is the minute, and now is the moment,
and it is passing by –
I’m the breath taker, I’m the life maker,
I am the open eye.

(coda)
The moment we have been praying for is here
Right now, right now, right now,…
