Now

Now

There is light coming in

Through the crack in the door

Now

There is hope

Where i' d never expect it before

Now

There are so many things

But there' s nothing at all

Now

You are learning to stand

I am learning to fall.

Now

As the air in the night

Becomes cooler and sweet

Now

I get up seven times

Just to cover his feet

Now

There is pain

But i' ve packed it away for next year

Now

There is newness and grace and for now,

There' s no fear.

Then

I can hardly remember what then used to be

Then

There was someone I knew

Looked exactly like me

I was running and running

With so much to boast

And I had no idea

What matters the most

Now

As the air in the night

Becomes cooler and sweet

Now

I get up seven times

Just to cover his feet

Now

There is pain

But i' ve packed it away for next year

Now

There is newness and grace and for now,

There' s no fear.

Later

When all of this has turned to songs

And faded pics

Later

When colored wooden blocks

Turn into heavy bricks

Later

When you will greet me only

With the shyest smile

Who knows what later brings?

And so meanwhile..

Now

There is light coming in

Through the crack in the door

Now

There is hope

Where i' d never expect it before

Now

There are so many things

But there' s nothing at all

Now

You are learning to stand

I am learning to fall.
