Lyrics
It's flowing slowly at the start
One breath to clear your head
Wide your eyes
And be prepared
For where this day will head
A time to ponder at the end
A sigh and nod of head
I'll close my eyes
And wander back
From where this day has led
It flowed so gently at the start
But it quickly goes
Days go fast
And life prevails
You learn what you must know
It gains momentum naturally
Days blend into night
Experiences flow
And learning grows
You try to do what’s right
A time to ponder at the end
A sigh and nod of head
I'll close my eyes
And wander back
From where these years have led
The days go fast and time rolls by
Like on a speeding track
Your memories fade
And still you know
Your karma caught the hack
And blessings seem like happenstance
You desperately want back
You want it back
It flowed so gently at the start
It would never end
But it does
And you looked back
It’s too late to amend
Too late to amend
A time to ponder at the end
A sigh and nod of head
I'll close my eyes
And wander back
From where this life has led
From where this life has led
Where this life has led
