Lyrics

for the moment

that’s all for the moment,
that’s all for today
we’ve run out of time
and things to say

for the moment, that’s all
now time for bed
so much has happened
enough’s been said.


she flunked out of the mindfulness class
but in daydreaming she got an “A”
her focus kept shifting, attention drifting
to a galaxy far, far away

but the gravity of the situation
brought her home to where she started from
from sages and Yoda she learned how to hold to
the wonders that gradually come


let’s say yes to the dreamworld
coming true in the morning dew
from the pearl of great price to the lost paradise
there’s a stillness moving through

alleluia, amen let’s catch our breath now and then
sing a love song in the rain at the grave
with her song in my bones I don’t feel so alone
a little more awake, and more brave
