|
The past comes upon you like smoke on the air |
|
You can smell it and find yourself gone |
|
To a place that you lived without worry or care |
|
Isn't that where we all once came from |
|
Green leaves and tall trees and stars overhead |
|
And the sound of the world through the screen |
|
But now you sleep with the covers pulled over your head |
|
And you never remember to dream |
|
You think you're just standing still |
|
One day you'll get up that hill |
|
In the age of miracles |
|
Is one on the way |
|
Greenland is melting, the west is on fire |
|
But don't ever stop praying for rain |
|
It's a curious place between hope and desire |
|
Different gods, but the prayer is the same |
|
And thousand-year storms seem to form on a breeze |
|
Drowning all living things in their paths |
|
And when a small southern town finds a rope in a tree |
|
We're all once again trapped in the past |
|
It seems we're just standing still |
|
One day we'll get up that hill |
|
In the age of miracles |
|
Is one on the way |
|
We can fly through space with the greatest of ease |
|
We can land in the dust of the moon |
|
We can transform our lives with the tap of the keys |
|
Still we can't shake this feeling of doom |
|

|
But I woke to find monks pouring into the streets |
|
Marching thousands strong into the rain |
|
Now if courage comes dressed in red robes and bare feet |
|
I will never be fearful again |
|
If I'm just standing still |
|
One day I'll get up that hill |
|
In the age of miracles, is one on the way |
|
Seems we're just standing still |
|
One day we'll ride up that hill |
|
In the age of miracles |
|
There's one on the way |
|
There's one on the way |
|
There's one on the way |
|
There's one on the way |
|
There's one on the way |
|
There's one on the way |
