#17 Right Now

Right now you're not the only person on earth

Right now there's a grandfather dying and a mother giving birth

Right now the world is spinning, and it's only one moment you may find

Right now is one moment experienced in 7 billion different minds



Right now the night is dark, and the moon is bright

Right now it's raining, but dry, so hark at the sun in the sky

Right now one little kid just opened his eyes and saw his first ray of light

Right now six astronauts float in space where there's no day or night



Right now a young girl creates a semi-perfect daisy chain

Right now a young man wishes he could pass out from pain

Right now a kid found hope after hearing it get's better

Right now a young lover just finished writing their first love letter



Right now a patent just got approved for the next big invention

Right now a student just met her true love next to her in detention

Right now friends just reunited for the first time in years

Right now a teen read their acceptance letter through tears

Right now a office worker finally broke a habit of decades

Right now a man who dropped litter on the street labelled himself a renegade

Right now someone just joined the unemployment lines

Right now someone just found out their tumour was benign



Right now a man just passed away before he could say his last phrase

Right now someone laughed for the first time in days

Right now someone wiped away a tear as they said 'I do'

Right now a life just continued as though this moment meant nothing to you
