Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment
We are choosing to be here right now
Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience
Choosing to be here in
[Verse 2]
This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me
Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion
[Verse 3]
Alive
[Verse 4]
In this holy reality, in this holy experience
Choosing to be here in
[Verse 5]
This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me
Feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion
[Verse 6]
Swirling round with this familiar parable
Spinning, weaving round each new experience
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this
Chance to be alive and breathing
Chance to be alive and breathing
[Verse 7]
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment
Remember, we are eternal
All this pain is an illusion
Written by: Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor, Adam Jones, Maynard James Keenan
