Lyrics
The Moment
And then, and then the door closed
But the bass player just kept playing on
We were trying to take it down to the one
Trying to take it down to the one
We were trying to take it down, down to that singular one
You gotta let go into just that one moment
So open your eyes, blue blossoms
Each moment, every moment, every moment it matters
Living hard in that fiefdom ruled by our thought,
Step out of that place, take a hike and be gone
And get into the moment
No, you gotta BE the moment
We stand strong as earth, as fire heart and thought
But look down to the moment that spells only earth fire and heart
Time stop talking, It’s time for no time,
Take thought and get lost to wherever you go
Step out of my space, take a hike and be gone
Just fade away like dark into dawn
If you count time by each moment, it’s hidden it’s gone
No need for a watch, no use for a clock
Now moments slip past lit by earth fire and heart
And our need for a clock, our use for a thought, they’re just lost to the wind
There’s just no why and no what, no where and no when
Gone are they all what live hard by the clock
This freedom is peace, and more vivid is life
Somehow sparkles the air, yet velvets our sensation
So Time you stop talking, you go away for the day
Daybreak!
Fresh sunlight on earth, fresh fire for the heart,
And then I wake up to thought it’s so freshened and cleansed
And clouds wake up too as rain to that fire,
Splash cool welcome-back drops, sparkles of job done so well,
And then I wake up and first thing, I look at the clock
Hey man, didn't you look too?
I said, hey man, didn't you?
I said, hey man
Didn’t you?
