Everything We Need Lyrics

[VERSE]
Saw a woman on the street
I thought it was my mother
It caught my breath but when she turned
I could see it was another

[VERSE]
Grief encounters tricks of light
How I wish for things with all my might
But birds keep gathering for flight
But will return when the time is right
[Chorus]
Today I sense that all is near
Ever more and soon to be
Within us and between us is
Everything we need

[VERSE]
I press my palm tree after tree
To feel the weight of time
Light came down in silver threads
All mixed with rain and pine

[VERSE]
Now I don't know and never will
What rises in the evening still
How empty cups keep getting filled
How healing comes and hope refills [Chorus]
Today I sense that all is near
Ever more and soon to be
Within us and between us is
Everything we need

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[BRIDGE]
It's not out there somewhere that's right
It's always been right here, hidden in plain sight

[VERSE]
Everything will go to dust
But from the dust returns
The leaves drip down without regret
As another season turns

[VERSE]
I dreamt of water every night
While you slept and dreamt of air and light
And I pray we all find clearer sight
And in turning round we come round right

[Chorus]
Today I sense that all is near
Ever more and soon to be
Within us and between us is
Everything we need
