Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment

We are choosing to be here right now

Hold on, stay inside

This holy reality, this holy experience

Choosing to be here in

[Verse 2]

This body, this body holding me

Be my reminder here that I am not alone in

This body, this body holding me

Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion

[Verse 3]

Alive

[Verse 4]

In this holy reality, in this holy experience

Choosing to be here in

[Verse 5]

This body, this body holding me

Be my reminder here that I am not alone in

This body, this body holding me

Feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion

[Verse 6]

Swirling round with this familiar parable

Spinning, weaving round each new experience

Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this

Chance to be alive and breathing

Chance to be alive and breathing

[Verse 7]

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality

Embrace this moment

Remember, we are eternal

All this pain is an illusion
