[00:20.84]The other night when I was researching
[00:21.955]What was going to be discussed today
[00:23.833]I came across a passage wrote down
[00:27.177]I think it really exemplifies
[00:29.843]What the young brother next to me was just talking about
[00:32.832]And I learned that all things must come to an end
[00:37.706]It is an inevitable part of the cycle of existance
[00:40.423]All things must conclude
[00:42.495]Take the analogy of a tree that grows in Brooklyn
[00:45.535]Among the steel and the concrete with all its glorious
[00:48.437]Branches and leaves
[00:50.281]One day it too will pass on its legacy
[00:52.702]Through the seeds it dropped to the ground
[00:54.718]And as the wind carries these seeds throughout
[00:56.613]Wherever they might move a new life
[00:58.689]Will begin for each one of them as
[01:00.169]They stand as a monument to the one that came before
[01:02.613]That came before
[01:03.269]That came before
[01:03.941]That came before
[01:04.573]That came before
