|
Will we hold onto the light |
|
Or just play until it fades? |
|
Will we draw a curtain across the sky |
|
And count down all our days? |
|
Will our veins be filled with sand |
|
And our hearts be filled with ache? |
|
When the desert takes the land |
|
And the ground begins to shake |
|
Ground begins to shake |
|
Ground begins to shake |
|
Oh, let's sing now a song 'til all seas become calm |
|
'Til all selves become one another |
|
And then sing it again to remember where we've been |
|
All we've lost and all we've learnt from each other |
|
Will the winds above the lake |
|
And the flowers in the glen |
|
One night sleep and never wake |
|
One night dream a darkened end? |
|
Will all power turn to pain |
|
When the birds take flight and leave? |
|
Will our intellect come save us |
|
Or fail us when in need |
|
Or fail us when in need |
|
Fail us when in need |
|
Oh, let's sing now a song 'til all seas become calm |
|
'Til all selves become one another |
|
And then sing it again to remember where we've been |
|
All we've lost and all we've learnt from each other |
|
To the long-forgotten fields |
|
Where your childhood memories lay |
|
To all the trees you ever climbed |
|
And the rivers where you bathed |
|
To all tomorrows shores |
|
That your children all will comb |
|
To the comets and the stars |
|
That they'll be wishing on |
|
They'll be wishing on |
|
They'll be wishing on |
|
Oh, let's sing now a song 'til all seas become calm |
|
'Til all selves become one another |
|
And then sing it again to remember where we've been |
|
All we've lost and all we've learnt from each other |
