If Not Now

from The Human Conditional by Bill White

/

lyrics

we slept through the shaking and the breaking of the crust
upon our awaking the water covered us
you say this cant be happening and maybe you are right
but if the tide isn’t out by the afternoon we will drown in it tonight

if not now it is to come if it is not to come let it be now

the ocean is trespassing against the borders of our shore
and even our ancestors will be swallowed by its roar
watching the horizon with no intention to retreat
they say heaven only knows which fate we shall meet
other lands have weapons to keep them safe
at the bottom f the world we are protected by the mercy of the saints

the wild dogs are warnng us to take to higher ground
but with paralyzed eyes we hold tight to holy ground
a kingdeome of whales in eddys they swirl
culd this b the wave that will drown the whole world
