there's time enough for all the things we dare
what magics we find are not hard to trace
their presence lingers in the morning air
not where we wanted but with time to spare
we've occupied what's not infinite space
there's time enough for all the things we dare
the messages that come tell us we're square
with those who want to redefine the case
their presence lingers in the morning air
the difference between truth and lie's a hair
or so say those whose merit is disgrace
there's time enough for all the things we dare
what's left of civil justice seems to be a smear
some traces here our hearts need to replace
their presence lingers in the morning air
all that's left of honour and equity we'll share
with those who show to us a human face
there's time enough for all the things we dare
their presence lingers in the morning air
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
