It's not that she walked away Her world got smaller All the usual places The same destinations Only something's changed
It's not that she wasn't rewarded With pomegranate afternoons Of Mingus, Chet Baker and chess It's not the stampeding fortune Or prim affectations She's off on her own But she knows
Now is greater than the whole of the past Is greater, and now she knows
She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be
It's not that the transparency Of her earlier incarnations Now looked back on, weren't rich And loaded with beautiful vulnerability But now she knows
Now is greater And she knows that
She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be
Now is greater, now is greater And she knows that
She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be
It's not like if angels Could truly look down Stir up the trappings A light on the ground Remind us of what, when, why or who That how's up to us, me and you And now is greater than the whole of the past
