The Lovers To be everywhere is to be nowhere Without somewhere but To be somewhere is to be everywhere Which is how when we are here we are there With somewhere with someone the ideal Which would seem like what We ought to know before we go Though still we have to try Looking elsewhere for everywhere And going too far Since going too far is only coming near Going around and coming the long way Wherever we are on this blue ball Nowhere everywhere or somewhere between All of us turn around the same small star As even by night it makes its light seen A pretty big trick for a star so small Bringing in soon by the light of the moon As something for us to remember it by Wherever we are Which is how when the sun is there it is here Reflecting on itself to make the moon appear From out of the shadows of space to be Something to reflect on for you and for me Returning what will be to what has been Light after light reflecting on the sea Being the pitch to which the lovers tune Being the music of what is real When open hearts are singing to the sky Around this small star And going too far wherever we are Around this small star as we are as we are Day follows night as night follows day As going we come and leaving we return Wherever we are on this blue ball Where none of us may leave here anyway Where two are one and somewhere is everywhere Which is how when we are here we are there The trick of it being to learn as we turn On this blue ball around this small star A pretty big trick for a star so small Reflecting on us here to make the moon appear Everywhere is here and we are as we are Where somewhere with someone is everywhere And both of us know what no one need say Light after light reflecting on the sea Light after night after light to be Something to reflect on for you and for me As something for us to remember us by We are the lovers as we come near As we were the lovers who went too far Around this small star as we are as we are +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
