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
