As This Moment Slips Away (feat. Terri Lyne Carrington & Daniel Rotem)

Hold on to the who

The who of who changed you

The who that broke open your sleeping soul, the endless list of who

Carry the what with you when you go

The what of what sickness we've let plague us

The what kind of person you get to be

The wake up call of what

Let the where linger thick in the air you breathe

The where of where great empires have been built

And then cracked on the backs of those who built them

The where of where you felt safe sleeping, but others lie with both eyes open

The shining darkness of where

Never forget the when of now

The when of hundreds of years of sacrifice

Terror, and apathy, the when of systemic fear of goodness

The realization that we are the when

And what's most important, learn the why by heart

The why of why silence could possibly be an option

Why our own discomfort in the face of truth could become priority

The why of why not now?

Learn the why by heart, by heart as this moment slips away
