Prayer for Current Times

Prayer for Current Times

I won’t say I or we
Cause time is just a fantasy
It’s better long gone
It’s better long gone
It’s better long gone honey

I won’t say I or we
Cause you are just a fantasy
I won’t be long out of courtesy
Heaven is crying out loud
So give me a smile I can make it sound

There is a treasure in our hands
But we have no short cuts
So it turns to gold again
And we will spoil it
Before it turns to be our own

If I don’t know
If you don’t know
It’s better long gone
And it’s better to let it go

We can see the shore
Is it a river or a sea
It’s leading West and it has no end
It’s better long gone
You just follow it my friend

I make it short
I make it quick
We have no time
The world is ending
But you can see the shore my friends

Let’s go to the woods where the animals scream
All we need is a shed to build with our hands
We can make it grow
We can make it grow
We can make it as it has never been

I won’t say I
I won’t say we
I will say now it’s time to go
We know the road they used to call Heaven

And I assure you it’s not a lonely trip
It’s not a dead end
It’s plenty of time again
With simple words
It’s plenty of time again

I won’t say I
I won’t say we
Cause time is just a fantasy
