Here & Now

[Verse] This pain of mine is where my day resides, I make my case in point Rest my head upon my woman's chest of peace, I've made a choice A life of toil in my voice, my nights compile full of joy I like to smile and laugh and weep, I gasp beneath the roaring waves Swore to change upon the mere arrival of my orbit's reign I can't afford the blame I can't afford to live in vain, to feel the force within my veins My present blessing is a flame, it lit my way It kept me warm whеn I was warned of disarray This is today, this is tomorrow, this is rage and this is sorrow This is gratitude and rеst, the living breath of Uncle Carl More to grieve, more to be, there's more of me for you to borrow I believe I have the means to casually live how I wanna I can dream and be awake and see the day that my dear father is okay And I give thanks for giving thanks, that's how I'm brought up Pray my brothers keep away from smoke and drank, we going farther Starving crystal is my heaven, know them lessons are to marvel Teach me life while I have this life and bless my metacarpal Hold the knife and strip away disdain, we chiseling the marble for a frame To give itself a name and seek to be a part of I am Sage, I am one who prays Treasure what my heart does Treasure what my heart does
