When I was a child
I thought I'd live forever
Now that I'm an adult
I tell myself that I simply won't die
But that someday I'll be raptured into a cosmic sphere of ecstasy
To read the engraved words on a tombstone
I once was where you are now ... And someday you'll be where I am now
But where are you
You never returned to tell the end of the story
Left me hanging in the air ... Waiting ... Guessing
Thus I accept
Darkness to light
Flesh to spirit
And while in the midst of an incomplete journey
A story unwritten
I have no choice
But to enjoy the ride

Thus I accept
Darkness to light
Flesh to spirit
And while in the midst of an incomplete journey
A story unwritten
I have no choice
But to enjoy the ride
