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 stampeding fortune,

or prim affectations.

she´s off on her own

is greater, and now she knows



Chorus:

she just wants to be somewhere

and loaded with beautiful vulnerability

and now she knows

and she knows that



Chorus



now is greater, now is greater.

and she knows that



Chorus 2x



it´s not like if angels

could truly look down

stir up the trappings

and light on the ground.

is greater, and now she knows that.

now she knows
