Holy Now
When I was a boy, each weekOn Sunday, we would go to churchAnd pay attention to the priestHe would read the holy wordAnd consecrate the holy breadAnd everyone would kneel and bowToday the only difference isEverything is holy nowEverything, everythingEverything is holy nowWhen I was in Sunday schoolWe would learn about the timeMoses split the sea in twoJesus made the water wineAnd I remember feeling sadThat miracles don't happen stillBut now I can't keep track'Cause everything's a miracleEverything, EverythingEverything's a miracleWine from water is not so smallBut an even better magic trickIs that anything is here at allSo the challenging thing becomesLetras de cancionesNot to look for miraclesBut finding where there isn't oneWhen holy water was rare at bestIt barely wet my fingertipsBut now I have to hold my breathLike I'm swimming in a sea of itIt used to be a world half thereHeaven's second rate hand-me-downBut I walk it with a reverent air'Cause everything is holy nowEverything, everythingEverything is holy nowRead a questioning child's faceAnd say it's not a testamentThat'd be very hard to saySee another new morning comeAnd say it's not a sacramentI tell you that it can't be doneThis morning, outside I stoodAnd saw a little red-winged birdShining like a burning bushSinging like a scripture verseIt made me want to bow my headI remember when church let outHow things have changed since thenEverything is holy nowIt used to be a world half-thereHeaven's second rate hand-me-downBut I walk it with a reverent air'Cause everything is holy now From Letras Mania
