"The Sacred Now" lyrics - IRIS DEMENT

A dream come true
From way back when
We remember
Then forget again
Just for a while
Then recall somehow
We're all here in the sacred now

Time speeds by
And then slows down
All is lost
Some hope is found
In the night
Hear the wise old owl
It's not a dream
It's the sacred now
Oh, the sacred now

Those who stand to gain
Draw dividing lines
You're over there with yours
I'm over here with mine
We can't speak and yet somehow
We all share the sacred now
Oh, the sacred now

All for one, one for all
The earth is breathing
While dreamers fall
See these walls
Let's bring 'em on down
No need to wait in the sacred now

[Outro:]
Here we are holding on somehow
It's not a dream, it's the sacred now
Oh, the sacred now
Oh, the sacred now
Oh, the sacred now
Oh, the sacred now
Oh, the sacred now
