Lifetimes

Everywhere that is all around you
There's beginnings and endings happening all the time
Living our lives in the between
Where we're born when we die never knowing the ending

Bad times they may come
I remain hopeful
That we know we don't know
But the feeling's so real
Lifetimes they are short
I remain hopeful
That our circle is fixed and comes around in the end

Tall trees stand so slow in the sunshine
In the wind and the rain
Sometimes hundreds of years long
Flowers grow so tall in the spring
Wilt and dry in the summer
Til they're dust in the dirt

Bad times they may come
I remain hopeful
That we know we don't know
But we will in the end
Lifetimes they are short
I remain hopeful
That our circle is fixed and comes around in the end

I know
I know we don't know
But I know we've got hope
I know
I know
I know we don't know
But I know we've got hope

Nothing goes on living forever
True for creatures who sin, who make all the right choices
Go to anyone you might know who makes you feel love and joy
Give them time in your life

Bad times they may come
I remain hopeful
That we know we don't know
But the feeling's so real
Lifetimes they are short
I remain hopeful
That our circle is fixed and comes around in the end

Bad times they may come
I remain hopeful
That we know we don't know
But we will in the end
Lifetimes they are short
I remain hopeful
That our circle is fixed and comes around in the end
