Presence Is Zion

It took so many lives

It took so many years

To arrive now right here

In this moment of time

Here where I stand

Forever I will be, forever I am

These roots were planted oh so long ago

Fed by the windy rivers of babylon

Now I’ve grown strong bearing fruit for my family

Living in Zion, right where I ought to be

You’re always right here

And there’s only right now

This presence is Zion

So welcome to Zion

Distractions, distractions, leave them alone

The television, newspaper, and your phone

There’s nowhere to run to, there’s nowhere to go

Sit and still your mind and breathe in slow

You are eternal, so forget about time

Life is not linear, so step out of line

There’s nothing to wait for, it’s already here

You will never die and there’s nothing to fear

You’re always right here

And there’s only right now

This presence is Zion

So welcome to Zion

The past is gone

And the future has not happened yet

Anything is possible and nothing is definite

Release your anxiety and your expectations

Enjoy the journey and forget the destination

You don’t need to know where you’re going

As long as you feel that you’re flowing

With the river of life, with the spirit of the wind

Be grateful for each moment, are you ready to begin?

You’re always right here

And there’s only right now

This presence is Zion

So welcome to Zion
