Do you go
High and low
Does your conscience rest on a bed of stone?

Where are you
When the rain turns blue
Have you served your time and paid your dues?

When it all comes screaming
All comes swirling
All comes sliding down
Do you hold your ground?

Have you been
In between
All your memories and what's yet to be?

Does your pain dissolve
As the world revolves
And time consumes all that's wrong?

When it all comes screaming
All comes swirling
All comes sliding down
Do you hold your ground?

I'm waking i'm sleeping
I'm standing I'm kneeling
I'm running I'm creeping
I'm flying I'm crawling
I'm tired I'm hungry
I'm healing I'm bleeding
I'm still here

I can say
Here today
I'm not leaving yet, I'm here to stay

I'll take this strength
Through the years
As a souvenir of my hopes and my fears

When it all comes screaming
All comes swirling
All comes sliding
All comes crashing
And it all comes falling down
Well I'll hold my ground

Is there anything left after we explode
Is there anything left in the middle of the road
Should we close our minds and scream?

Do we take a dim memory off the shelf
Or harbor deep doubts about ourselves
Should we close our eyes and dream?

We are waiting for the other shoe to drop
We are waiting for the page to turn
We are waiting for the forest tree to fall
We are waiting for the page to turn

I'm a churning hurricane on a burning sea
We got gasoline eyes and fallout feet
This American twenty-first century

Do we take a sound bite right out of this
Slice of American apple pie
Does the TV lull us gently off to sleep?

Sleep
Dream
Believe

We are waiting for the other shoe to drop
We are waiting for the page to turn
We are waiting for the forest tree to fall
We are waiting for the page to turn

Page to turn

On a sunny fall day I was freezing the frame
You were standing in the sunlight smiling at me
You said something funny I can’t remember now
It was something I’d said to you years ago
Trying to hang on to moments like these
Is like trying to stop the river from returning to the sea

Just be here, just be here
Be present in this moment and alive in this time
Just be here, just be here
These seconds tick by but the days fly away

Ohhhhh, ohhhh

We were walking these sidewalks at a quarter past three
I was holding your hand you were holding onto me
I told you I loved you you said you agreed
I said how ‘bout forever and you said “we’ll see”
We turned and kept walking but I wanted to say
These seconds slip by but our lives fly away

Just be here, just be here
Be present in this moment and alive in this time
Just be here, just be here
These seconds tick by but the days fly away

Don't need a heaven
Don't need a hell
If you need to believe that's just as well
Don't need promises of salvation
Or threats so ominous of damnation
All I need is you and me in the here and now

You don't have to go through it alone
We don't have to deal with it all on our own
You don't have to go through it alone
We don't have to deal with it all on our own

Don't need a church to tell me why
Don't need a big daddy in the sky
Don't need a book to read my compass
And I sure as hell don't need you praying for my soul
'Cause it's fine, it's just fine, thank you

You don't have to go through it alone
We don't have to deal with it all on our own
You don't have to go through it alone
We don't have to deal with it all on our own

I am me
You are you
And we are we

I am okay
