In The Here And Now

You don’t have to tell me I know just how it feels To measure all your days Against the spinning of the wheel When your evening prayers are spoken But dawn wakes you like a beast Your memories move in circles And you long to be released You can’t seem to shake it The thunder on your trail You just float heavy on the sea In the belly of your whale And you try to throw your anchor But it’s too much like your past You need it to ground you But it’s too heavy to cast But dear it’s just a trick For our mind’s a thieving fox Steals us away from Eden And tries to change the locks We see past with fire And our future in the clouds So come and sing with the Sparrows Soar in the here and now We’re all pieces of a dream That someone had long ago And fragments of a thought That will be forever known And each day is just a test But no harder than before Though we may soon be all as Noah Water rising to our doors But feel it turning softly The world beneath your feet Its moving for us all To a hidden holy beat And right inside the center Where the fox cannot be found Are the voices of the angels Singing “In the here and now” But dear it’s just a trick For our mind’s a thieving fox Steals us away from Eden And tries to change the locks We see past with fire And our future in the clouds So come and sing with the Sparrows Soar in the here and now In the here and now In the here and now
