Come watch the trees explode in the mornings burning glory
Listen to the dawn as it builds the beginning of my story

Nothing lasts forever at least not the way we had planned
Though we build and we scrape and we create to try shape time hold it in our hands

Just Don't you hide your eyes from me
Don't you hide your eyes

Poring over and over old photographs see how you used to laugh
Used to smile
And what if I don't last till tomorrow if my body breaks down if my mind breaks away
If I just dissipate

As I float away in the last moments of the time when that energy was me
Would at some point I'd turn around one last time and ask was my life complete

Will these pictures be proof enough to say it's ok I did it I done it it's all been fun
Or would my spirit begin to cry ask himself why I didn't try I didn't care

That my time as one was precious a message to the rest of us
Don't put your dreams up on the shelf

It's what I believe you're gone once you leave
Never live your life through someone else
