Ever Now

Time to stop your dreaming Open up your eyes No time for make-believing The tide's about to rise Gaze upon a field of colors Behold the blazing sun Walk upon the raging river Listen to it run Knights in shining armor Damsels in distres Wizards with their charms and potions Ladies in fine dress But the court is not in session The crown no longer rules Gone the glamor, feasts, and fashion The wise man plays the fool It feels like I'm falling Don't know where I'll land Will you be my catcher in the rye And catch me if you can And will you lead me to the water Take me to the promised land No more bloodshed at the alter No more sacrificial lambs The king has lost his vision No treasures will be found Dragons are returning To reclaim the sacred ground Has the crystal ball been shattered Has the jester told the king See the royal gowns in tatters They've lost the magic ring Skip a stone across the water See the ripples shimmering Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters Can you hear the angels sing No more time for rearranging It will soon be Judgement Day Hear the voices in the distance They're calling out you name Will there be a great awakening A flash of holy light To heal our wounds and ease our pain And end our strife And is there reason for the suffering Will injustice be made right Will tomorrow bring salvation Transformation, paradise? The moon is not a goddess Her light comes from the sun The future is uncertain The past can't be undone Set your eyes on the horizon Soon there'll be the rising sun Take a breath, the dawn is coming A new day has begun Laugh because you're living Laugh until you cry Ask to be forgiven Forgive before you die Feel the pulsing of the moment Let the stillness how you how Taste the sweetness of surrender Forever... ever... Now
