Before Our Eyes

BomberJacknutContemplative

World's gone beautiful; Yes, the world's gone beautiful. The flowers bloom And the sun shines brightly, While death slowly opens the door.

All we have is time; Yes, all we have now is time. Look to the future While the past lurks nearby, And we can't tell what'll be in store.

World's gone beautiful; Yes, the world's gone beautiful. We count our days And we count our blessings, For we don't know we have much more.

It all gets clearer; Yes, soon it all gets clearer. The water shines And the fish do rejoice, For soon all will settle the score.

World's gone beautiful; Yes, the world's gone beautiful. We face the end Or what appears to be, 'Cause now it's our turn on the floor.
