Two Things

Story Behind The Song

Story Behind the Song: David was reading quite a bit of Clive Staples Lewis in light of the new Chronicles of Naria movie release (2005 Christmas). In a book entitled "The Screwtape Letters", two demons are corresponding with letters sharing their experiences while trying to lead people astray. What people don't realize, says Screwtape, is that there really are only two things: The Present and the Eternal. What are we doing with what we can actually control (NOW)? The past is done and can't be changed, the future is out of reach, all we have is now. And what are we doing right now that will actually mean something in light of Eternity?

Lyrics

There's two things you won't face
there's two things I won't waste
there's two things they can't take
there's two things: the present and the eternal

There's two things we must face
there's two things we can't waste
there's two things we're not gonna let them take
there's two things: the present and the eternal

We're not forever, so let go of the past
people of the ground, we all fall down
we're not forever and the future is out of reach
there's two things: the present and the eternal

There's one thing you think about
there's one thing I don't doubt
there's whispers and loudest shouts
there's two things the present and the eternal
