The Holy Moment

from Why Not? by Frank John James

/

lyrics

Good morning yo, it's a brand new day
You'd think I'd give a damn but I didn't have a say
My appeal? Unlimited existence
Reaching for eternity, call it the resistance

We could sit around, talk a buncha nonsense
But I'm a grown man, I listen to my conscience
Nuthin' really just a soul on the brink
Icy at the moment, suntin' like a hockey rink
If two was three then I'd be a step ahead of this
Maybe wasn't ready yet, possibly they'd reminisce
Whatever the case, I do it for the end result
The impact of my words can make me wonder why I ever spoke
Naw, if it happened it was meant to be
The moment we exist in is eternal somewhat heavenly
You think you're ready but your thoughts aren't readily
Available to those you travel with, we are all savable
Crave a bowl when I feel I ain't capable
Gettin' it right, is much too hard not fake-able

Doesn't matter what you did or what you will do
Strive for the highest form of thought and it will heal you
Don't wait for tomorrow, yesterday is no excuse
God is not external every moment is within you

(Sample)

Good morning yo, it's a brand new day
You'd think I'd give a damn but I didn't have a say
My appeal? Unlimited existence
Reaching for eternity, call it the resistance

The emotion of a moment is a motion
We see it linear, but really it is ever open
Never open, the doors of self destruction
Far from the truth, just allow yourself to function
Watch it rupture, from a false structure
Harmony is imminent, instead it's gettin' punctured
Tinkered with, with no one when we need a lift
Too busy with their self-motivated time they see the length
I see it here at this moment in my notebook
In the mic stand in the person up to no good
Understood in my heart it's why I open up
And even though I make a lot of sense I still don't know enough
I'm rollin' up and yet I feel I was always here
Just trynna separate the roots between the love and fear
Some people think they grow together but it ain't the case
Fear is an illusion of a moment that has gone to waste

Doesn't matter what you did or what you will do
Strive for the highest form of thought and it will heal you
Don't wait for tomorrow, yesterday is no excuse
God is not external every moment is within you
