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
No! let's sing us a song 'til all seas become calm
'til all selves become one another
Then let's sing it again to remenber where we've been
All we lost and all we 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
No! let's sing us a song 'til all seas become calm
'til all selves become one another
Then let's sing it again to remenber where we've been
All we lost and all we 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 will all comb
To the comets and the stars that they'll be wishing on
They'll be wishing on, they'll be wishing on
No! let's sing us a song 'til all seas become calm
'til all selves become one another
Then let's sing it again to remenber where we've been
All we lost and all we learnt from each other
