How many hours have I spen Watching this shining tv Living adventure in proxy In another person's dream How many miles have I traveled Looking at far away lights Listening for trains in the distance In some brilliant other life? This cup, this cup I wanna drink it up To be right here in the middle of it Right here, right here This challenging reality Is better than fear or fantasy So take up what we've been given Welcome the edge of our days Hemmed in by sunrise and sunset By our youth and by our age Thank God for our dependence Here's to our chasm of need And how it binds us together In faith and vulnerability This cup, this cup I wanna drink it up To be right here in the middle of it Right here, right here This challenging reality Is better than fear or fantasy What if my whole world falls apart? What if my life could be different? What if I sat right here and took you in Without the fear and loved you whole Without the flight and didn't try to pass This cup, this cup I wanna drink it up To be right here in the middle of it Right here, right here This challenging reality Is better than fear or fantasy
