It came again
This glorious day
Where you wonder
How it can dare

To be this beautiful
While the planet sinks.

It came again
I had been before
This day had been
Sung in my bones

I was standing
Right at the place
Where the sky opens
And you can touch

The raw parts
Of the world

It came again
I took it personally
Thru my nostrils and
Lungs into song

The quiver of the earth
I could hear it in my blood

Like when you come
Home to quiet
And you smell something
Is very wrong

It came again
To remind me
To remind me

What we have
Done.
