While we are waiting here

still standing

The best thing to do

Could be planning

Think of now and the days ahead

Reboot the world and raise the dead

Branches still rise

that won’t bloom again

Caught among the living

Like influential memories

Happy apparitions to protect our new system

Thoughts that help us win

Our most crucial identity

**

Identity is essential

Like building our credentials

We stake our claim to who we are

We should not be judged from too afar

We are near in spirit to the present

Our goals for the future

Build our identity

The ghost of time

Exists forever

Essentially:

Our teachers

Our mentors

And who we are meant to be

**

We are

Now in time

I take everything you say

into consideration

By now half might have left

I’m doubling this

Can you respect me

the way I respect you?

*

We have a lot to catch up on

Above & beyond the day to day

I hope we can reflect more

Really get through

So life goes our way

**

While we are waiting here

still standing

The best thing to do

Could be planning

Think of now and the days ahead

Reboot the world and raise the dead

Mountains still rise

that will grow trees the same

High above the rest, living

Like the top peaks of time we need

Wild inspired visions to protect

Our new system

Thoughts that help us with

Our most crucial identity

Our signature appearance, experience,

intentions and basic follow-through
