Iris DeMent - The Sacred Now Lyrics

Iris DeMent Lyrics

"The Sacred Now"

A dream come true
From way back when
We remember
Then forget again
Just for awhile
Then recall somehow
We're all here in the sacred now

Time speeds by, then slows down
All is lost, hope is found
In the night, hear the wise old owl
It's not a dream, It's the sacred now
Oooo... the sacred now

Those who stand to gain
Draw dividing lines
You're over there with yours
I'm over here with mine
We can't speak and yet somehow
We all share the sacred now
Oooo... the sacred now

All for one, one for all
The earth is breathing
While dreamers fall
See these walls
Let's bring 'em on down
No need to wait in the sacred now

Here we are holding on somehow
It's not a dream, it's the sacred now
Oooo... the sacred now
Oooo... the sacred now
Oooo... the sacred now
Oooo... the sacred now
Oooo... the sacred now
