ANI DIFRANCO lyrics : "Here For Now"

I bet you're wondering if you woke today
just to learn why the caged bird sings
I bet you're wondering if the goddesses are all crazy

or just keeping it interesting
situated slightly outside society
at odds with its odd offerings

I bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety
just to alleviate a few things


like the fear that you're standing here
because you want to be liked
like you know you need your instrument

but does your instrument need to be mic'd
and you keep imagining that pretty soon
you will just disappear

and thinking that one thing is what saves you from
your fear of being here
here for now, you're here for now, you're here for now


I bet you're looking for the little red 'X'
next to the red arrow and the sign says 'you are here'

I bet you're hoping that your heart will send up the white flag
this time
or some sign that the coast is clear

and the moment when your heart jumps in all that's happening
it's like the first time you felt that shock
yes, your heart jumps in all that's happening

and I was right behind the door when you knocked

thinking maybe I'm just standing here

because I want to be liked
yes, I know I need my instrument
but does my instrument need to me mic'd

I keep imagining that pretty soon
I will just disappear
and thinking that one thing is what saves me from

my fear of being here
here for now, I'm here for now, I'm here for now
here for now, I'm here for now, I'm here for now
