lyrics

Each grain of sand finds its place upon the map
Filling in and charting out the whole universe
From pools of color, five towers rise above
Of which heaven and earth begin to revolve

I place a lotus safe within the walls
A sandcastle built to last, axis of all
But then the tide comes and melts it all away
Pulls the petals out to sea
Leaving nothing left

Nothing lasts
Nothing stands past the evening tide
Nothing we do stands the test of time
Nothing lasts
Why even try when all must pass
When finally I understand that
Nothing lasts

Do we cry when the concert ends?
Do we sigh when autumn leaves fall?
Do we weep that the night must end?
Or do we learn to live in the moment?
Can we learn to live in the moment?

Nothing lasts
So I learn to love the process
To guide the sand instead of the tide
And feel the sun as it passes by
And to know that one day I'll die because
Nothing lasts
Nothing lasts

The tide falls as the sun starts the day
The lone and level sands stretch far away
