Misery was caused Because I tried to cling To all the pretty things Till they became The death of me Everything passes away Like the rise and fall Of each new day Nothing here will Forever remain Everything passes away Sleeping in the delusion That I could hold What I desired Till the fire Because a nightmare Everything passes away Like the rise and fall Of each new day Nothing here will Forever remain Everything passes away We cant control anything Got to accept reality Why manipulate Trying to own Something we cant Even hold Now I see the path That leads back To understanding The kind that unties All of the strings That were holding me Everything passes away Like the rise and fall Of each new day Nothing here will Forever remain Everything passes away Everything passes away Like the rise and fall Of each new day Nothing here will Forever remain Everything passes away
