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
