All Saints’ Day - Carrie Newcomer

All around us and within us
And yet it's only at times we notice
As real as rain and as soft as stardust
We know deep down what nobody told us
Can't you feel it ever closer
We breathe it in and then we exhale
We touch both sides and now eternal
Standing closer to the veil
Now is just a moving image
Not a ribbon a start and end
There 's a bird a hidden singer
That calls and listens and calls again
Can't you feel it ever closer
We breathe it in and then we exhale
We touch both sides and now eternal
Standing closer to the veil
Centered down and moving outward
Sometimes almost too sweet to bear
There are endless ways to reach home
Just keep walking and I'll meet you there
Can't you feel it ever closer
We breathe it in and then we exhale
We touch both sides and now eternal
Standing closer to the veil
Can't you feel it ever closer
We breathe it in and then we exhale
We touch both sides and now eternal
Standing closer to the veil
There's a blurring of the borders
And I swear that I heard voices
But every act of simple kindness
Calls the kingdom down and all around us
Can't you feel it ever closer
We breathe it in and then we exhale
We touch both sides and now eternal
Standing closer to the veil
Standing closer to the veil
Standing closer to the veil
