Sitting near the river as the light expands the day
Raining warmth into my head, I see another way
Water, flowing movement, birds are singing
They are free
Is freedom our illusion
Or just the time to be
Planes and ships and open fields are calling me to stray
Diversions and illusions grant more temporary stay
Could it be the root is there
For all to plainly see
It's not some trip we're looking for
It's just the time to be
Vampiric trivialities pollute the blood of time
Can there be transfusion
Can the two worlds be combined
Why should it take a miracle for all to plainly see
It's not more clocks that people need
It's just the time to be
