A song that explores themes of impermanence, self-discovery, and the search for meaning and connection. The lyrics suggest a sense of urgency to make the most of life’s fleeting moments and to find deeper, more profound experiences.
Here today, gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be a bee and the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sour
What we have we're gonna keep, always
What we've lost we don't need, always
What is it that won't let you sleep, always
Be the arrow and the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool, be awkward
Don't look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soulmate
Get down off your holy cloud, always
God will not deal with the proud, always
Well if you dream then dream out loud, always
Eternally yours, always
I want you
I want you
I want you
Know what to do yourself, always
Go find yourself in someone else, always
And always wear a safety belt, always
Wait for me I'm running late, always
This is the moment that we share for always
Turning slowly into a prayer, always
Now and forever
For always
