Right Now
by Doug Andrews

She said solar panels are pricy these days
We're strapped for cash and leavin' come May
A lot of good they'll do us in the Portland rain
What else can we do
What else can we do right now?

I said I know the world seems a mess
It gets me down too, I must confess
But we can't run on idle, relyin' on the rest
And say there's not much we can do
Not much we can do right now

The past ain't much good if you don't leave it there
The future bears its teeth when you're running scared
So take one step and don't fret about the stairs
'Cause that's all we can do
All we can do right now

You're tears are sayin' it's a hard row to hoe
Hard on your mind
Hard on your soul
It's as hard as you make it
So, make it easy
A simple seed to sow

Let's make a deal with the piney breeze
Extend it through to the trickling stream
You start with you and I'll start with me
'Cause there's so much we can do
So much we can do right now
