I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone All my dreams flash before my eyes, a curiosity Vivid lands roll beyond into the horizon Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea Poseidon, his waters will swallow all, eventually All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky Just relax, let the canyons echo your shrillest cry It slips away, all your money won’t another minute buy Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind Close your eyes, and let eternal peace overtake you Stop struggling, ‘cause in your place life will grow anew Don’t protest, ‘cause this is just too much to make it through Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Look around, see the land growing fertile and green Time will pass, soon enough they will bear the bean Let it go, there’s no one else on whom you can lean Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind Forever, the one time into which nothing will last In heaven, please don’t relive your crazy past Carry on, we will, ‘cause the world’s infinitely vast Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

More Dust in the Wind
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone All my dreams flash before my eyes, a curiosity Vivid lands roll beyond into the horizon Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea Poseidon, his waters will swallow all, eventually All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky Just relax, let the canyons echo your shrillest cry It slips away, all your money won’t another minute buy Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind Close your eyes, and let eternal peace overtake you Stop struggling, ‘cause in your place life will grow anew Don’t protest, ‘cause this is just too much to make it through Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind Look around, see the land growing fertile and green Time will pass, soon enough they will bear the bean Let it go, there’s no one else on whom you can lean Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind Forever, the one time into which nothing will last In heaven, please don’t relive your crazy past Carry on, we will, ‘cause the world’s infinitely vast Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
It's based off of KANSAS' "Dust in the Wind" song. My school's show choir was singing this song.
