Today I found a nickel

And I held it in my hand

I wished it lots of luck as I

Gave it to the homeless man

He said God bless you

I said God bless us both

He smiled and started laughing

I guess I told a joke

Here and now

Ready and willing

Touch my heart it is open

Kiss my soul if you're willing

I am ready to be living

Here and now

Today I had a notion I had

To call up my old friend

She said she had a

Poem for me

And did I hear that

She was thinking of leaving

I said I will miss you

And then

I played her my new song

We laughed and cried

We never said goodbye

And when I called again

She was gone

Here and now

Ready and willing

Touch my heart it is open

Kiss my soul if you're willing

I am ready to be living

Here and now

Today I made a dollar and

I'm feeling very rich

I earned it with my labor

Yes I dug my ditch

I'm free from all my worries

And I cast away my doubts

I am living in this moment

And tomorrow's gonna

Work itself out

Here and now

Ready and willing

Touch my heart it is open

Kiss my soul if you're willing

I am ready to be living

Here and now
