Back Into Now -
And from a single tune it can change it all,
Like an unseen switch it makes
You wonder where it's been and suddenly
It falls down as if from the sky itself,
It carpets the whole world in giant pelting
Sheets of rain in incredible incessant waves,
Gives it color, it infuses the real with light
I don't know what it is
I can't explain
I can't point to it
I can't choose it
I don't know what changed
Or why
All I can do is say it's there
No, now it's here
Finally and after so long
The fact alone is enough to take it all away
To drag you back...
Almost
But then you remember the notes of it
The tune of this that has somehow reminded
You of itself
And all the multicolored mega inks relight,
And you dance with it again
Exploding back into Now.
