You Are Here was written just as the lyrics suggest, at 4 in the morning with the song and lyrics flowing through all at once. Marisa often wakes up with a new song in her head and runs off to go write or play it before it "dissipates like vapor."

This song is an excellent reminder to stay in the present moment. You are always exactly where you need to be doing exactly what it is you need to do.

It's easier to be at peace when we are in the here and now. Let this song be that reminder for you. Next time you find yourself freaking out about the future or worrying about the past, slip on your headphones, put on this song, and melt into the joy of being in the present moment.

lyrics

Another midnight morning
I'm scrambling for a pen and paper
So I can catch these thoughts
Before they dissipate like vapor

Just remind yourself...

My inspiration comes in spurts
That splatter like paint all over me
I am the canvas and I'm praying for
My greatest masterpiece

Just remind yourself that
You are here

The clock shows 4:04 and I am sure
An angel's watching me
And then my future tripping brain
Thinks of the things I must complete

Just remind yourself that

The time has come for you to
Say goodbye to
Living in the dark
The light is waiting for you
And i have a tip for you to start

Just remind yourself that
You are here
