Life, half afraid
Of things beyond our reach
We fear they might collapse and bring us down
And life, too often too scared
Of promises and choices
And of wings that stir the air
But someday
We‘ll set out for things that we crave
Though we can‘t foresee
Where the wild wind blows
All we have is this moment
All we have is this knowledge
That this life is a passage
So narrow, so wide
All we have is this union
Like rivers and oceans
And it all can be taken in a blink of an eye
Days like winding roads
A labyrinth of dreams
That often die before they come to life
Though we know
We can‘t sing this song forever
We keep on writing on
And on until the break of dawn
But our notions
Will someday be ghosts on the wind
And we can‘t hold back all that is to come
All we have is this moment
All we have is this knowledge
That this life is a passage
So narrow, so wide
All we have is this union
Like rivers and oceans
And it all can be taken in a blink of an eye
Blue wide open sea and sky
Something must be out there
In my outworn mind
Blue wide pinnacles and seas
Same old words and naive dreams
My sky
All we have is this moment
All we have is this knowledge
That this life is a passage
So narrow, so wide
All we have is this union
Like rivers and oceans
And it all can be taken in a blink of an eye
