I Suddenly now September Almost to October Thinking how it was over Suddenly you remember Still August until now when September remembered how then Again September knows us Before October shows us II Silent lightning in the desert far away In another valley over there Too far away for thunder anyway Lighting up the clouds between us from within Looks like fireworks across the black sky when I Look out my window then hear the wind sigh Like a change is coming in the air And I wonder when the thunder will begin III Marisol insists to be On my bed here next to me She is big and long and wide So I say "stay on your side" But she stays there doggedly Bowser lies down on the floor Marisol did but no more Now up on the bed instead Stubbornly immovably On my bed here next to me IV The middle of the night and the wind is sighing Someone is being born someone is dying The stars seem cold as ice though distant suns Someone is laughing now someone is crying Someone sighing like the wind somehow keeps trying And we are the ones we are the someones In the sighing of the wind I hear life say "This is it someones: here comes your someday" Steven Curtis Lance
