Inner Light

Centuries of wisdom are buried in the sand
And eons of progress lost in time
Books tell the stories of how it began
But we've seen the future arriving

No one remembers
No one remembers who we are

As we stand on the mountains and reach for the stars
We are blinded by our illusions
Whatever we want will not be enough
We've silenced our inner guidance

Do you remember who you are?
Do you remember you and me?
Do you remember what we were?
Do you know why you are here?

The storms neverending erasing the earth
Cleansing the air of all lies we have told
Structures we've built will be razed overnight
And we've seen history repeating

No one remembers
No one remembers what we have done

As we pray to the heavens, lament our demise
Ignoring the voices within
Telling us this is just what we are
We rise and fall like the seasons
