Moments of the soft persuasion
Chiming bells, the first occasion
Tell the rest a smile awaken
'Til the last reminder shaken
From whatever rude and sorrow
Now, the time is now-tomorrow
In the instant of remaking
Just the giving of the taking
In the instant of the living
Just the taking of the giving
(Oh) nothing more than Earth and water
Smiles of spring from barren daughter
Who at last in perfect motion
Turning 'round, embrace the ocean
Gracious calf of mankind suffering
Sacrifice of old is ending
In the instant of remaking
Just the giving of the taking
In the instant of the living
Just the taking of the giving
Moments of the soft persuasion
Chiming bells, the first occasion
Tell the rest a smile awaken
'Til the last reminder shaken
From whatever rude and sorrow
Now, the time is now-tomorrow
