Iris DeMent - Workin' On A World

The Sacred Now

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, then 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

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
