Time is taking you away from me Afraid I watch you slowly disappear Time took you away from yourself— Where has your shining mind gone, Hiding from everyone else? What a miraculous rise This journey of a lifetime— So many pieces to find A collection of discoveries Ending in a freefall of misery I once heard: “If there were no hope, Life would be a bitter joke” Ooohhh, ooohhhh Why am I shocked? We’re all going someday But it hits differently When your mind fades away And your body remains What are we? Who are we? The brain is such a mystery— What is the exact piece That makes us be? I once heard: “If there were no hope, Life would be a bitter joke” Ooohhh, ooohhhh The fight of our lives Spent trying to become, Only to wake up one day A little less than before, Slowly turning to dust Till we’re not ourselves anymore Oh Lord, look upon us, Save us in your memory (Ooohhh, ooohhh) As for you, it’s a guarantee You will be restored, rest in peace You will come back to me
