For Now

Sometimes I think about the ones that we're replaced

All the millions underneath the burnt and waste

And I get sad because, of course, we'll be the same

All of history collapsing in its wake

Maybe it's enough that I have laid here

Maybe it's enough that I have known inside my head, and

Maybe it's enough to know that we were here together

And that we are the ones

We are the ones

We are the ones for now

I heard that someday when they look up at the night

They'll see nothing but a black and starless sky

And they'll tell stories of some old and callow time

Claiming spectacles of brilliant burning lights

Maybe it's enough that I have laid here

Maybe it's enough that I have known inside my head, and

Maybe it's enough to know that we were here together

And that we are the ones

We are the ones

We are the ones for now

So maybe this is what it takes to realize

I am grateful just that I have been alive

And I'll be happy if I look back on my life

Been a sister, been a mother, been a wife

Maybe it's enough that I have laid here

Maybe it's enough that I have known inside my head, and

Maybe it's enough to know that we were here together

And that we are the ones

We are the ones

We are the ones for now
