Back to Ourselves

It feels like an era
That's passed
From then to now
And here we are
Back again
Back to where we began
Back to ourselves



Time has told me
Not to ask for more
For someday our ocean
Will find its shore

Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind

And time will tell you
To stay by my side
To keep on trying
'til there's no more to hide
So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really don't want to love

Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn
Your tears they tell me
There's really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say

So I'll leave the ways of making me be
What I really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For someday our ocean
Will find its shore

Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind

Time has told me

Ordinarily Extraordinary

We are all ordinary as such

Yet,
There are moments bright
When we feel extraordinarily light
The source is always in sight
Yet we tend to overlook, try as they might

Yet yet,
Such moments over time, increase in number
And make us sit up, take notice and stare in wonder-
'They must surely be coming from somewhere yonder'
And we stretch and look afar even as we begin to rise from our slumber

Yet yet you bet,
They begin to pour in at a frequency so high
We truly begin to look around with an unbelievably relieving sigh
'There is something really afoot, a magical revelation is nigh!'
And thusly doth it reveal itself and we exclaim with an exuberant slap on the thigh!

Yes yes you bet,
It has always been that simple
That it takes not much to revive that twinkle
Just a teenie bit of a sprinkle
Breaking a smile deep into a dimple

Yes yes,
Now we see it bright and clear
It has always been oh so near
And something that we thought we must fear
Just turned out to be oh so dear

Yes,
It's just been about attention, love and care
Something all of us have and can share
And when to be a source of 'em we dare
The magic of this Universe is very simply laid bare

And you know,
Just like that-
We are all extraordinary as such
