It's alright

I've been listening to a new song by 311 lately and today I really thought a lot about what the song was trying to say - so I thought I would post the lyrics here.  Just reading the lyrics does them no justice.  This is one of the best songs I've heard and it may replace Today by the Smashing Pumpkins as my favorite (it's good, but I don't know if it's better).  Well enough of my usual rambling - I'll let them say it.  I'm going to see if there is a way to get the song on here so you don't have to make up a tune for the words.

Stay with me.
Here with me. 
Right in this instant. 
Not in the distance. 
When your head is off in future time. 
That's the place where things get out of line. 
Taking in this moment. 
You time is so well spent. 

It's alright 
Wherever you are right now. 
I tell you it's alright 
That's where you're supposed to be now. 

Stay with me. 
Here with me. 
Right in this instant. 
Not in the distance. 

Standing at a crossroads, I was at a loss those 
Temporary moments pleasures that are stolen. 
Here in the present 
You're time is so well spent. 

It's alright 
Wherever you are right now. 
I tell you it's alright 
That's where you're supposed to be now.

I just listened to your song...it is perfect. Very applicable to my life. I look forward to more of your posts. I also read your comments about healthcare - a discussion for another day!
