In the Meantime

[Verse 1]

Maybe there's no answer here

At least one we're ready to hear

No string of words will satisfy

No simple equation to edify us

[Chorus]

Here, in the meantime

May questioning nurture life

[Verse 2]

Fear is illogical math

An impractical skill to have

Still, we talk of our future till we have no voice

We'll try to outsmart it with noise

[Chorus]

Here, in the meantime

May the unknown harvest life

[Verse 3]

We're conditioned to mourn our empty glass

Long before it ever poured out our past

Though our patience is always in short supply

We'll leave our farsighted worries behind

[Chorus]

Here, in the meantime

In the gospel of near-sight

May we learn to live a nourished life
