I can feel the panic on each TV station The madness and the conflagration As they all compete to get heard But do you hear the bird Diamond cheep with the air Beneath its wings as it flies in there And it’s everywhere that is sky I don’t think they mean to lie But it’s like an endless repetition Trying to get the first edition Of tomorrow before the dawn Where has the present moment gone? If it’s like a competition And you’re fighting but you’re a Christian Do you think the love of God means that? And I see my own war as I balk at what they’re at Am I any different in truth? Have I lived the promise of my youth Or do I just see an enemy Trying to get the best of me Where did brotherhood go Or being a sister in the know I think the silence will tell All of the secrets they keep so well But I see it in myself It starts with you now the cards have been dealt And it’s up to the sunlight to show the dawn I know it might be hidden but it isn’t gone The peace beneath the waves The ground under what is paved Do you know who you are? Or do you just make a black hole out of a star? As the constellations show their age Light years away from the war we wage Do you think it means aught to the sky We’re born, we live and then we die What is permanent Could you say the Truth is an event? Or is it more like a scene That wakes as we live the dream Thinking it’s our own creation The defeat and the elation Just polarities And does it matter who disagrees If we’ve invested thought With the rhythm of the schism we’ve bought But are you caught Let go and become all that you’ve sought And when the night arrives Be content with what survives Each and every dusk I let go the weight and I just trust
