She woke up early one evening
In her thirty-second year
She'd had awakenings in the past
But none had ever been this clear
Gave a look in the rear-view mirror
Asked aloud "why is it that we are here?"
There was no outer answer
There was no inner fear
She caught herself in the moment
Where she knew she had a choice
She took a new neural pathway
And she was totally shocked by the strength of her voice
She said "I'm gonna own it in the moment
Gonna hone what I've got and keep trying to top it
Been sleepin' like a baby for so many years
Using little pills to dull all my pain and my fears
If nothing matters anyway
I might as well enjoy what I've got today."
It happened in an instant
Borne from several years of work
It didn't feel like a revelation
In fact it manifested itself as a smirk
She held the audience captive now
And she could feel the power washing over her brain
She put aside her alter ego
She let the metaphors fall down like rain.
The world had stopped for a moment
And time and space just disappeared
She drew a breath in to get her bearings
The gravity of the situation was clear
Without a God there is no plan
Without a plan there is no purpose
Without purpose there is no right
Without right there is no wrong
Without wrong there is no evil
Without evil there's no need to worry
So let's just relax and enjoy what is
She said "I'm gonna own it in the moment
Gonna hone what I've got and keep trying to top it
Been sleepin' like a baby for so many years
Using little pills to dull all my pain and my fears
If nothing matters anyway
I might as well enjoy what I've got today.
I might as well enjoy what I've got today."
