In The Presence Of . . . Songtext / Lyric

Anderson/Howe/Squire/White

September 11, 2001



Deeper than every ocean

Deeper than every river

That's what your presence brings to me



Revealing the words I listen

Seeing you in my silence

Learning I'm with you constantly

As I was before



If we were flowers

We would worship the sun

So why not now?

This high is shining brightly

Brighter than before



As the door was open wide

There inside was a diamond chair

Where I sat when I was young

I wrote down the words






Only when the young at heart

Can enter the real world

This chance I've waited for

For you to see



If I had chances I would spend them with you

To hold you close and let your love surround me

Deeper than before



(Deeper than every ocean)

And I know this love is real

(Deeper than every river)

Realize this is meant to be

That's what your eyes they say to me

You are listening to how I feel

So expectedly

(Brighter than every morning)

From the ocean to the sky

(Beautiful as the sunset)

Every river to the sea

Nature surrounds me constantly

We can hear love constantly

This is for you and me



Turn around and come deeper now

So what happens when I touch you there

You feel the words roll over you

Thinking of the better scenes

The memories

As everybody else just

Hasn't got the time

To help you anymore



'Cause if the reason for

The things that pleasure us

To please ourselves

Not pressure us

To give our ego

Some pleasure time



Can you imagine

Any reason

To know you're only fooling yourself

And then you'll understand why

You'll understand why



So if we choose to realize

All existence is a dream

This perfect resume to you

From me



Just had a tough time with magic

The death of ego

The moon

It was just coming through



Send me such a good time

In a letter form, tell me

The pleasure, no pressure

Pure imagination in a metaphoric dream



I get amazed like a true beginner

I get amazed like a true believer

I get amazed when I see you there

And I come alive



I believe I'm a true beginner

I believe I'm a true beginner

In your arms I can see it all

I can see it all



If we were flowers

We would worship the sun

So why not now?

This light is burning brightly

This light is burning brightly

Brighter than before

Brighter than before

Brighter than before

Brighter than before



Turn around and remember that

When it gets so low

As you finally hit the ground



Turn around and remember that

Now I'm standing tall

Standing on my sacred ground



Turn around and remember that

When it gets so low

As you finally hit the ground



Turn around and remember that

Now you're standing tall

Standing on sacred ground

Standing on sacred ground

Standing on sacred ground
