If you walk, you slip
If you stop, you stall
If you touch, you stick
If you drop, you fall
In the eternal,
In the eternal now.
If you give, you take
If you kneel, you bow
If you dream, you wake,
If you seek, you doubt,
And when night shadows blend
With the light of the dawn
Remember to forget
That you've come to depart
In the eternal,
In the eternal now.
