If I can make it to now
Things will be all right.
If I can focus on here
Not those things that might.
If I can make it to now,
Things will be all right,
Even if horror
Is clearly my plight.
If I can leave behind yesterday
Let past times be past.
If I can forget what must come,
No matter how fast.
If I can make it to now
And feel sadness inside.
If I can just let my grief
Be kind future’s guide.
If I can just make it here,
If I can just hold on now,
If I can just reach my hand out,
I’ll find arms that allow
A holding of comfort
Where tears can run long,
And when sewers are washed clean,
Keep hold firm and strong.
If I can make it to now,
And let go of escape,
The grey fog of sorrow
Shall slowly undrape,
And valleys of flowers
Fed strong by the dew
Will await present me
To finally break through.
