Do you hear how time is passin’ Can you see his frownin’ face He ain’t here for jokes or laughter He is here to state his case He knows nothing lasts forever He’s seen cities rise and fall He won’t stop to bargain with you Same lapse of time for us all Throw away the stubborn outcries Obstacles we do not need It’s the true love life long friendship That redeems us from cain’s seed They’re the ones that will stand by you Celebrating new years eve All the good and bad achieved Throw away the painful memories They’re not worth the weight they bear It’s about the joyous moments And remember them with care They’re the ones that keep us upright They’re the ones that we pass on Drop the sorrow sing a new song In the times of joy and laughter With a wild gleam in your eye Always up for an adventure We where never scared to fly Bounding up the highest mountains Soaring down the waterfall In this ring of fire we stood tall Have you heard of drowning cities? Seen the tears and heard the cries Our world is full of misery Swamped with hate and filled with lies But there’s sunlight near the shadow Silver lining to the cloud Floating midst the darkened heavens Beckoning us to lift the shroud Do you know how pain is mended? Have you felt the magic flow? It cannot be done with money Only love will let you now When you’re coming to the crossroad And you see the gallows swing Turn around and stop the skirmish And then you’ll hear me sing
