[verse] Footsteps fade in morning dew Shadows stretch and slip from view Leaves fall quiet, skies turn gray Giving permanence no sway [verse] Moments lost like whispered rain Hearts that mend, then break again Time won't stop or let us stay It just marks each full day [chorus] Life goes on, through joy and sorrow On borrowed time, without tomorrow We rise, we fall, we start anew The world moves on, as worlds must do [verse] Hands we held now touch the past Touching dreams not meant to last They persist, not bound or measured Giving hope for us to treasure [verse] Quiet moments shape the years Softly fading hopes and fears Yet beneath the passing days Life continues in all its ways [bridge] No map, no script, no guiding flame Just patterns none can quite explain Each breath uncertain, each step a burden The future waits behind a curtain [chorus] It endures, though time may change it Not confined—no force can cage it We rise, we fall, we fade from view But each day the world begins anew [end]
