Within The Sands Of Time

Thoughts quicken in my mind
Like cold reminders of long lost yesterdays
Mirrored reflections written upon the dusty page
Caught within the sands of time

As I look towards the horizon
And wipe the tears from my weary eyes
Will the seams of an endless ocean
Sound with the crashing of the waves

As the fire burns the world shall slowly turn
As we drift throughout the night
Will we remember the quiet place
That dwells deep within us all
Beneath the stars this night

May we drink from the paper cup
As we turn towards the light
Will the pain that lingers before us now
Slip into the night

Shall I save myself, for yet another day
Should I rest upon my bended knee
And say a prayer for you upon the way
