[Verse 1] On fertile ground creatures meet Life begins with ancient beat When the sky above cycles red Someone won't come home to bed Every moment someone's born Every moment someone's mourned Life across time and space Is an endless give and take [Chorus] Stars are born and life will rise Some, one last time close their eyes From the tiniest grain of sand To forces we don't understand Ancient rhythms weave their way In all we lose and all we save [Verse 2] Lovers meet beyond the stars Planning lives that travel far Making promises they'll keep While their world begins to sleep New worlds wake as old ones rest Every end brings out the best In the life that's yet to come When the weaving's finally done [Chorus] Stars are born and life will rise Some, one last time close their eyes From the tiniest grain of sand To forces we don't understand Ancient rhythms weave their way In all we lose and all we save [Bridge] Time is just a river flowing Never stopping, always growing With stars, we chart our passage In stone, we carve our message But time erodes what seems to last The moment's gone, it moved so fast [Chorus] Stars are born and life will rise While some, one last time close their eyes From the tiniest grain of sand To forces we don't understand Ancient rhythms weave their way In all we lose and all we save [Outro] In the silence, in the noise Every sorrow, every joy Begins anew beneath the sun It's the same since time begun [End]
