Life is a light, shining around us
Life is a fire, burning inside

I just can't understand
How it slips right through my hand
The very thing that makes me who I am

Every light turns into darkness
Every dawn turns into dusk
We are no different!
Every fire burns to ashes
Every ember turns to dust

Life is an ocean, a distant horizon
Life is a sword, placed in your hand

We tried to play the game
We didn't know the rules had changed
Now things will never be the same

Every storm cloud was an ocean
Every blade turns into rust
We are no different!
Every fire burns to ashes
Every ember turns to dust
