Where The Time Will Go
Embracing Life's Transience: Where Time Guides Us
Lyrics
There are so many promises that
There are numerous commitments we make to one another.
We make to each other
However, these commitments often remain unfulfilled.
But none that we really keep
Most promises are not kept.
This is mine for you
This commitment is the one I make specifically for you.
And this one will last us
This promise will endure until we fall asleep.
Until we're taken off to sleep
It's meant to last until we are asleep.
So if you start to fall
If you begin to decline or struggle,
I'll be the hand that won't let go
I'll be the support that won't abandon you.
When you're all alone
When you're isolated,
I'll be that hand that won't let go
I'll be the constant presence that won't let go.
And when your heart gives up
When your spirit gives in,
And your lungs collapse, for the last time
And your breath ceases, marking the end,
I'll be there with you, our hands entwined
I'll be there with you, hands intertwined,
As you're taken off to sleep
As you drift off to sleep.
To whom this may concern
A message to anyone concerned,
I've started to come to terms
I'm starting to accept and understand,
With how I've lived my life so far
How I've led my life till now.
And made peace with the
I've made peace with
Bad decisions I've made
The poor choices I've made,
Life disappears to quickly to
Life passes too swiftly to dwell on errors.
Dwell on the mistakes
There are parts of my life
There are segments of my life
That I thought I'd wasted
That I believed were squandered,
But they made me who I am
Yet they shaped my identity.
If I keep on waiting for better days
If I wait for better times,
They'll never arrive
They'll never materialize.
I thought that I knew
I believed I comprehended,
I thought that I understood
But things keep evolving,
But the wheels keep turning over
Life progresses relentlessly,
And the lights keep on rushing by
And everything rushes past,
Nothing's standing still for anyone
Nothing remains static for anyone.
When you feel so much loss that
When loss is overwhelming,
Your heart almost gives up
And your heart feels like giving up,
When you feel so much loss
When the magnitude of loss is intense,
Everything is in focus
Everything becomes clear and focused.
When you feel so much loss
When the pain of loss is profound,
When you know that nothing lasts
And you understand that nothing is permanent.
Death has taught me that all
Death has shown me that all vibrancy
The colours will bleed out
Will eventually fade away.
Death has taught me that each
Death has taught me that each brilliance
Light will fade away
Will ultimately diminish.
