Amongst the Trees

CLIMB STEEP PATHS
TREAD CALMLY
EVER STEADY
TAKE IN THE VIEW BUT DON'T FALL BEHIND
SOME DAY YOU'LL SEE
THAT WHILE EARTH BENDS FOR YOU
SOMETIMES AT YOUR OWN HAND
A DAY'S FORGOTTEN IN CENTURIES
SOME DAY YOU'LL SEE
GROVES WHERE PATHS END AMONGST THE TREES

DAYS PASS
YEARS WANE FASTER
TIME'S FLOW HASTENS
YOU BLINK AN EYE AND A SEASON'S CHANGED
SOMEDAY YOU'LL SEE
THAT TODAY'S STRIFE MEANT NOTHING
IN THE FACE OF TRAGIC HAPPENINGS
A GLIMPSE INTO ONE'S MORTALITY
SOMEDAY YOU'LL SEE
A DAY THE HEART GIVES ITS LAST BEAT

(SOLO: PHELPS)

YOUR OWN WICK BURNS FAST ON ITS CANDLE STICK
IF YOUR DICE ROLLS HIGH YOU'LL USE ALL OF IT
HOPE THE WIND LETS YOUR FLAME BREATHE WHILE IT CAN
IT'S BEYOND YOUR HAND
LOVE IT AS IT BURNS
GAZE, REVEL IN ITS WARMTH AND GLOW
A TREASURE'S LUST WILL FADE AFTER IT'S SWIPED
ALL ATTEMPTS TO STOP ONE'S AGING SUBSIDE
MY FEAR CAN PUSH ALL A DAY'S MUSINGS ASIDE
LET THEM IN MY LIFE
WHERE I DREAM IN THE LIGHT OF THE DAY WITH OPEN EYES

CLIMB STEEP PATHS
TREAD CALMLY
EVER READY
DON'T RUSH AHEAD, VIEW THE MOUNTAIN SIDE
SOME DAY YOU'LL SEE AS YOU FLY FAR
WINGS TIRE FASTER
LAST FLIGHT LOOMING
AHEAD YOU VIEW THE YOUTH PASSED YOU BY

SOMEDAY YOU'LL SEE
DARK GROVES AHEAD WHERE PATHS END AMONGST THE TREES
AND ALL YOUR PRIDE, WEALTH AND KNOWLEDGE IRRELEVANT
YOU AS A THOUGHT MAY SURVIVE FURTHER BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE
LEVEL THE TIME
FEED TOMORROW BUT LET TODAY BREATHE
