Back Into Now - 


And from a single tune it can change it all, 
Like an unseen switch it makes 
You wonder where it's been and suddenly 
It falls down as if from the sky itself, 
It carpets the whole world in giant pelting 
Sheets of rain in incredible incessant waves, 
Gives it color, it infuses the real with light 
I don't know what it is 
I can't explain 
I can't point to it 
I can't choose it 
I don't know what changed 
Or why 
All I can do is say it's there 
No, now it's here 
Finally and after so long 
The fact alone is enough to take it all away 
To drag you back... 
Almost 
But then you remember the notes of it 
The tune of this that has somehow reminded 
You of itself 
And all the multicolored mega inks relight, 
And you dance with it again 
Exploding back into Now.
