If this life is one act

Why do we lay all these traps

We put them right in our path

When we just wanna be free

I will not waste my days

Making up all kinds of ways

To worry about all the things

That will not happen to me

So I just let go of what I know I don't know

And I know I'll only do this by

Living in the moment

Living my life

Easy and breezy

With peace in my mind

With peace in my heart

Got peace in my soul

Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

Living in the moment

I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done

I let my past go past

And now I'm having more fun

I'm letting go of the thoughts

That do not make me strong

And I believe this way can be the same for everyone

And if I fall asleep I know you'll be the one who'll always remind me

To live in the moment

To live my life

Easy and breezy

With peace in my mind

With peace in my heart

Peace in my soul

Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I can't walk through life facing backwards

I have tried I tried more than once to just make sure

And I was denied the future I'd been searching for

I spun around and searched no more

By living in the moment

Living my life

Easy and breezy

With peace in my mind

With peace in my heart

Peace in my soul

Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm living in the moment I'm living my life

Just taking it easy

With peace in my mind

I got peace in my heart

I got peace in my soul

Oh wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm living in the moment

I'm living my life

Oh easy and breezy

With peace in my mind

I got peace in my heart

I got peace in my soul

Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm living in the moment.
