Of Everything I Now Am

 

As for wishful thinking

Those days are through

The sun has blinked its last

On days of yesterdays

Who sang only songs of tomorrows

Without ever hearing the voice of Now sing too

 

Now that I know love is all

Let me give all of myself to those who

Ask of everything I now am

 

Now I'm rising in my falling

Finding purpose in the passing

Of who I wasn't

The longing to find fulfillment

But, too fearful to dissent 

Even when I disagreed

 

Now, as always, love stands bold in the face of a angry crowd

And, gracefully speaks above those screaming loud

And, patiently breaks apart every untruth

That preaches happiness, wholeness, and security

Can only be found in their pursuit

 

Now that I know love is all

Let me give all of myself to those who

Ask of everything I now am

And, now, in all truth
