[Verse 1] To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven In a wild flower To hold infinity In the palm of ones hand And eternity In an hour. To seek a deeper meaning To see the truths beneath To find The smallest things Can have The greatest meaning [Soaring Chorus - music swells] Time is~~~~ Forever~~ And it is~~~ Ephemeral~~~ The moment~~~ Of memories~~~~ Can last an Eternity~~~~ Hold those things close And never let go For the smallest delights~~ Are the most wonderful~~~~ [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 2] A life for a life An eye for an eye. Are these the rules Of which we abide? Try as I may~~~ Try as I might~ I can never~ Escape~~~~ The hellhounds of night~~~~ Do I exist Outside of time? Or am I A specter Lost in the tide~~~~ [Soaring Chorus - music swells] Time is~~~~ Forever~~ And it is~~~ Ephemeral~~~ The moment~~~ Of memories~~~~ Can last an Eternity~~~~ Hold those things close And never let go For the smallest delights~~ Are the most wonderful~~~~ [Final verse] God appears And God is light To those poor souls Who dwell in the night But does a human form Display To those who dwell In realms of day? [Instrumental outro]
