As the sands of time Slowly slither, silently on As you try to grab a hold It siphons through your fingertips The harder you squeeze The faster the flow But when you open your hand Spread your fingers wide a small pile settles in the palm When you hold on It suffocates suddenly, simply still But loosen your grip And life flourishes as you will Change is the only constant Always remember the simple truth, that   people are in your life for three reasons: For a reason for a season or for a lifetime Each one as important as the other but none so important that you can't live without each one just a lesson learnt So be grateful for each moment well spent Because after all... All we ever seem to do is say goodbye

All we ever seem to do is say goodbye:
As the sands of time Slowly slither, silently on As you try to grab a hold It siphons through your fingertips The harder you squeeze The faster the flow But when you open your hand Spread your fingers wide a small pile settles in the palm When you hold on It suffocates suddenly, simply still But loosen your grip And life flourishes as you will Change is the only constant Always remember the simple truth, that   people are in your life for three reasons: For a reason for a season or for a lifetime Each one as important as the other but none so important that you can't live without each one just a lesson learnt So be grateful for each moment well spent Because after all... All we ever seem to do is say goodbye
