I've put stock in things now vanishing, invested time and energy This fleeting world it flies by too soon And I've focused on the past alas it seems these things Weren't built to last I watch them fall and crumble next to You The burdens that we carry are all temporary Photographs and memories will fade The storms we're left to weather will not last forever When all is said and done You will remain When all is said and done You will remain We're passengers transitioning from highs to lows and in between Exhausted by the search it seems we're spent To dwell to keep it in my mind ensures that I'd be left behind Confused by life and asking where it went The burdens that we carry are all temporary Photographs and memories will fade The storms we're left to weather will not last forever When all is said and done You will remain When all is said and done... Consistently you've shown consistency In a world where ever-changing means that nothing's here to stay Still You remain And when the lights finally fade We'll find ourselves standing face to face With things that I've gripped tight and hoped to save Your hand is clenched in mine to do the same The burdens that we carry are all temporary Photographs and memories will fade The storms we're left to weather will not last forever When all is said and done You will remain When all is said and done You will remain When all is said and done You will remain
