For Now

Sometimes I think about the ones that we've replaced
 All the millions underneath the burnt and waste
 And I get sad, because of course we'll be the same
 All of history collapsing in its wake
 Maybe it's enough that I have laid here
 Maybe it's enough that I have known inside my head, and
 Maybe it's enough to know that we were here together
 And that we are the ones
 We are the ones
 We are the ones for now
 
 I heard that someday when they look up at the night
 They'll see nothing, but a black and starless sky
 And they'll tell stories of some old and callow time
 Claiming spectacles of brilliant burning lights
 
 Maybe it's enough that I have laid here
 Maybe it's enough that I have known inside my head, and
 Maybe it's enough to know that we were here together
 And that we are the ones
 We are the ones
 We are the ones for now
 ♪
 So, maybe this is what it takes to realize
 I am grateful just that I have been alive
 And I'll be happy if I look back on my life
 Been a sister, been a mother, been a wife
 Maybe it's enough that I have laid here
 Maybe it's enough that I have known inside my head, and
 Maybe it's enough to know that we were here together
 And that we are the ones
 We are the ones
 We are the ones for now
