A Call Out to Time

Song written in July 2012


This time will surely fade away
Every moment, every breath that is spent by day
No turning back, no replay of time
Unformed bliss  my heart shines
Born of ground, live and die
Back to earth forever abide

Whoa now rushing water, time slow down
This is my only song
Whoa now rushing water, time slow down
I hope it lasts long

Life of our fathers, do we recall?
Dreams of our mothers that were once held and kept so tall
Lasting legacy, is it for real?
Lasting legacy, why the appeal?
Around like wind  transcend all men
Strive eternal  end so thin

Whoa now rushing water, time slow down
This is my only song
Whoa now rushing water, time slow down
I hope it lasts long

Our children will live a segment of time
Through them we live and through them we die
Recalled for generations, maybe two maybe three
But soon we fade as time cease to be
Memories, silenced once loud
All is lost, the fall of the proud

Whoa now rushing water, time slow down
This is my only song
Whoa now rushing water, time slow down
I hope it lasts long

The thing that will last is so undefined 
The thing that will last will leave none behind
Forever it stays  forever with all
Times ending days  its one lasting call

Whoa now rushing water, time slow down
This is my only song
Whoa now rushing water, time slow down
I hope it lasts long
