lyrics

Standing before our dreams
But never quite diving in
We search but we do not find
We lose ourselves in our minds
We doubt and we pine and yearn
“Uzun ince bir yoldayım”
When all we must do is learn
To be here and now

It’s what it is

It’s the sun caught in morning dew
It’s the bud as it’s bursting through
It’s your bare feet upon the ground
It’s the feeling of lost then found
It’s the ocean within a drop
It’s everything that we’ve got
It’s the couplet that crowns the verse
But it cannot be put in words

The past is a fiction
The future an idea
The heart of the moment
Why we came here

Truth
Here and now
Beauty
Here and now
Love
Here and now

What are you waiting for?
