The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
The words of love, the cries of hate.
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Then finally loosed you.
You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the
Mob below,
But you had put the flaming out so
That others could now follow,
To be out of the bounds and the barks
Of those who do not wish you well.
You must blaze a train of your own, unknown, alone,
But keep in mind
Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal.
The onl survivors of this world of ours are
The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
The words of love, the cries of hate.
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Then finally loosed you.
You're old and disillusioned now
As you realize that at last,
That all you have accomplished here
Will have soon all turned to dust.
You dream of a future after life,
Well that's as maybe, I don't know
But you can't take what you left behind,
You're all alone.
So keep in mind
Don't live today for tomorrow
Like you were immortal
The only survivors of this world of ours are
The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through
The words of love, the cries of hate.
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Then finally loosed you.
