Why torment we in units of time

So far beyond reason and all rhyme

Where all we do, hear, and see

Are but a blink of the eye of eternity

How we limit our lives the way we do

Thinking not of who we are, but only "Who's Who"

And when the breath we breathe is gone

Our only hope is to finish strong

So what, I pray, am I to do

With everything that Ive been through

When lives are lost as shadows cast

And winds of life blow upon the mast

Of this great ship sailing a sea immense

Bound by skies of circumstance

One day I will reach the shore

Peace and light mine forevermore

Until ends the rising and setting sun

When all is heard and said and done

When there is nothing left to know

Sweet forever- free from time Ill go
