lyrics:

What if I told you
The future is now?
If we’re only dreaming 
Than we’ll never learn how

What if I told you
The future is now?
If we’re only waiting than we’ll 
Never learn how

When I first met you
We were still kids
Thought we had it all in the can
in our hand was the lid

Time goes fast
Time goes slow
Better make friends with him
He’s with us, wherever we go

What if I told you
The future is now?
If we’re only dreaming
Than we’ll never learn how

What if I told you
The future is now?
If we’re only waiting than we’ll 
Never learn how

When I first met you
Every breath was for you
Now that I know you
I know this is true

Here we are
Are we here?
The Intimate connection between
Our hopes, our dreams, our fears 

What if I told you
The future is now
If we’re only dreaming 
Than we’ll never learn how

What if I told you
The future is now
If we’re only waiting than we’ll 
Never learn how

Instrumental bridge

What if I told you
The future is now
If we’re only waiting
Than we’ll never learn how

Secular Penitente

The Future Is Now

Highway 160
Across La Veta Pass
Past The Acorn
Where we stopped for gas
The smell of piñon
That earthy note of fall
Going, going to the city

After we’d fill up
We’d catch I-25
World starts spinning faster
Further east of the divide
So when you grow up
You dream of when you were young
But in those days
you couldn’t wait for these to come

Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city

Further up north
More scars upon the land
Zeros and ones
Replace the heart and the hand 
Is this a plot twist, or is it part of the plan?
To grow further from nature is the nature of the man

Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city

To grow further from nature is the nature of the man
To grow further from nature is the nature of the man
To grow further from nature is the nature of the man
To grow further from nature is the nature of the man

Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city

Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city

Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city
Going, going to the city

Roots and Wings

Going to the City

Antonio Lopez is a quiet man with something to say. His music is like an onion, each layer revealing more. His adept guitar work and composition skills are never used in a showy way but rather like the spices in a home-cooked meal. The result is a feast of emotions that delight the listener.
Here We Are, the new album by Antonio Lopez, explores the intimate connection between our hopes, dreams, and fears. Here We Are is an alluring collection of songs written by an artist wrestling with his ego as he chases success and slow dances with failure. Through the lens of his indigenous Chicano roots, Lopez speaks many truths with gentle precision. Rather than tell the listener what to feel or think, Lopez invites you to see yourself reflected in the lyrical stories created by his music. Here We Are officially releases on Friday, November 3rd, and will be available for streaming on all major platforms and purchase on CD and vinyl through www.antoniolopezmusic.com.
