The Age Of Miracles |
The past comes upon you like smoke on the air |
You can smell it and find yourself gone |
To a place that you lived without worry or care |
Isn’t that where we all once came from |
Green leaves and tall trees and stars overhead |
And the sound of the world through the screen |
But now you sleep with the covers pulled over your head |
And you never remember to dream |
You think you’re just standing still |
One day you’ll get up that hill |
In the age of miracles |
Is one on the way |
Greenland is melting, the west is on fire |
But don’t ever stop praying for rain |
It’s a curious place between hope and desire |
Different gods, but the prayer is the same |
And thousand-year storms seem to form on a breeze |
Drowning all living things in their paths |
And when a small southern town finds a rope in a tree |
We’re all once again trapped in the past |
We can fly through space with the greatest of ease |
We can land in the dust of the moon |
We can transform our lives with the tap of the keys |
Still we can’t shake this feeling of doom |
But I woke to find monks pouring into the streets |
Marching thousands strong into the rain |
Now if courage comes dressed in red robes and bare feet |
I will never be fearful again |
There’s one on the way |
