Sands of Time Lyrics

Look how far I've grown

Successor to the throne

I've gathered through the falls

And prospered through it all

The inversion of the hourglass sets in

Like a luscious flower picked

Picked at the stem

Destined to decay just as life begins

Eyes open wide

Inhaling sweet Mother Earth

Look how far I've grown

Successor to the throne

I've gathered through the falls

And prospered through it all

And I'll bring with me

These memories

Passed through our legacy

Our legacy

Mama, Mama

I'm not coming home

Mama, Mama

See how far I've come

Mama, Mama

I'm not coming home

So I'll sow the earth

Let my kin live on

Yet I, once so alive

Enjoyed the fruit of Gaea's sweet surprise

So bountiful are her pleasantries

Although I've bargained all my hours into labor

As my zeal declines

So render me a passerby

Once titanic

Now a mite

The sands of time still trickle all the same

So I'll raise you up with what's left of my name

My numbered days hold my love for you

I'll open my doors for you

And when the last grain falls

How have I touched you all?

The only things we leave

Are those we help to breathe

And when the last grain falls

How have I touched you all?

The only things we leave

Are those we help to breathe
