Just for Today

Just for today I can ward off the night

Oh ask – why detain, are you certain, define?

Dust on the stage, why run from it all?

Adjust what you made; I can tell that you’re sore

Who is that I see, standing next to me?

Is it far to go, and is there much to know?

All this to decide, there’s no black or white

Change this heart of stone to this flesh and bone

Rust and decay are reversed by and by

Your past comes to life when the sorrows are stalled

Last night we saved old thoughts of the light

Oh, I can wait for the sun and the sword

Who is that I see, standing next to me?

Is it far to go, and is there much to know?

All this to decide, there’s no black or white

Change this heart of stone to this flesh and bone
