WHEN WE ARE READY
What kind of consummated image do you contemplate
When you are trying to make your way out on the interstate?
How can you concentrate energy with any sense of direction?
How can you focus indeterminately with any hope of resurrection?
What makes the image more important than the underlying theme?
Can it make you feel angry, enough to throw your head back and scream?
How can you take that screaming energy through pools of true reflection
And weave a vibrant living tapestry with no fear of rejection?
When we are ready to hear it, when we are ready to feel it
Answers are provided and confusions reconcile
When we are ready to clear it, when we are ready to heal it
All becomes apparent in the heartbeat of a child
Where are the answers to the questions that refuse to go away?
Where are solutions to the problems we are facing every day?
And where’s the source of healing energy? From where will come our protection?
What is the secret of the waves on the sea? Can we consolidate the connection?
When we are ready to hear it, when we are ready to feel it
Answers are provided and confusions reconcile
When we are ready to clear it, when we are ready to heal it
All becomes apparent in the heartbeat of a child
They say we’re living in the future now, but I think we’ve always been there
But if we don’t learn to help each other out, I guess we’ll never get anywhere
Feels like we’re living in the future now, we may as well have always been there
But if we don’t learn to help each other out, I guess we’ll never get anywhere
But when we are ready to hear it, when we are ready to feel it
Answers are provided and confusions reconcile
When we are ready to clear it, when we are ready to heal it
All becomes apparent in the heartbeat of a child
Clarification rising…
