This Is It

Thought it would be over by now
The endless raising of a hand to get ahead of the crowd
Wishing on a star to keep us firmly on the ground
Oh, it would be over by now

Thought I'd stop being this hard
On every little moment where I think I went too far
Believing I'm unworthy as I reset the bar
I thought I'd stop being this hard

I think I am missing something
Why if we are so enlightened?
Do we still find it so damn frightening to admit
This is it?

Thought I had a story to tell
Understand my time in the deepest depths of hell
Every sleepless night, a blessing I can sell
I thought I had a story to tell

Thought I had a message to relay
Trust that all things missing will surely find their way
Give honesty a chance and don't expect them to stay
Thought I had a message to relay

Well, I think I am missing something
Why if we are so enlightened?
Do we still find it so damn frightening to admit
That this is it?
This is it, this is it

When did I start losing the feeling?
The filling my heart was all my own doing
Coming apart as I watch them leaving
Oh, what I would give to be all that I need?

And then, why did I start believing in heaven?
Telling myself that it's not for the living
Trying to get somewhere when I don't even
Know where I am right now

I think I am missing something
Why if we are so enlightened?
Do we still find it so damn frightening to admit
That this is it?
