Lyrics

Wind through the trees screaming down through the canyons
Breathing over rivers running into the sea
Warmed by an angry sun and tamed by the moon
Never resting long before leaving too soon

Drenched by the rain under a bitter sky
Swirling like two broken lovers saying goodbye
Breaking on the rocks, crashing onto the sand
Beating down the pieces scattered upon the ground

Time waits for no one
Like water through my hands
Stacking promises up for never
Knowing they won’t stand
And nothing lasts forever
But a solemn guarantee
Try as you ever will
Everything that is will never be

Stack it all up into pretty neat little piles
Forge yourself an empire stretching thousands of miles
Hoist up your sails go and shout at the thunder
Try as you might what’s above is buried under

Time waits for no one
Like water through my hands
Stacking promises up for never
Knowing they won’t stand
And nothing lasts forever
But a solemn guarantee
Try as you ever will
Everything that is will never be

There’s nothing you can tame on a rock heading nowhere
Suffering and blame waiting for the foolish mind
Chaos is the beauty that you’ll fight until you break
So hold it like a savior with every breath you take
