Life, half afraid Of things beyond our reach We fear they might collapse and bring us down And life, too often too scared Of promises and choices And of wings that stir the air But someday We'll set out for things that we crave Though we can't foresee Where the wild wind blows All we have is this moment All we have is this knowledge That this life is a passage So narrow, so wide All we have is this union Like rivers and oceans And it all can be taken in a blink of an eye Days like winding roads A labyrinth of dreams That often die before they come to life Though we know We can't sing this song forever We keep on writing on And on until the break of dawn But our notions Will someday be ghosts on the wind And we can't hold back all that is to come All we have is this moment All we have is this knowledge That this life is a passage So narrow, so wide All we have is this union Like rivers and oceans And it all can be taken in a blink of an eye Blue wide open sea and sky Something must be out there In my outworn mind Blue wide pinnacles and seas Same old words and naive dreams My sky All we have is this moment All we have is this knowledge That this life is a passage So narrow, so wide All we have is this union Like rivers and oceans And it all can be taken in a blink of an eye
