Hour by hour. We forget that time passes.
    -----------------------------------------------------­-
   These  frail  bodies can  only last  so  long.
   ------------------------------------------------------
   Power to  forever live we  do not possess.
   -----------------------------------------------------
   Disease destroys us while we make song.
       -------------------------------------------------
         When will his time to leave come?
                ----------------------------------
        ­           How will this man be
                        ---------------------
                ­         Remembered?
                     -----                   -----
                  When                      will
          ­    -----                                   -----
           He                                       ascend
      -----                          -                    ­     -----
      To                          the                      ­  sun?
     -----             -------------------------              -----
   How  will  they  say  his  life  was  centered?
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   How  will he  live for - now  what’s  his name -
  ------------------------------------------------------------­---
  God?  How  will  he live for  Him alone in awe?
