Mother, you're trying your heart out
But he's slipping though your grasp
Into the long green grass
That will cover us
Just be there, just be there, just be there
You're not supposed
To know what to do when
Your best friend forgets you
Or how to do this at all
When an empire falls
But beauty remains
There are wild flowers in the cracks
And sometimes it rains
And the past comes flooding back
And you can be sure
That though those glory days are gone
Beauty remains in even a half remembered dawn
And I'm shocked by the future
How little I know will be
And the stories you used to tell
No longer comfort me
What an incredible human journey
What an incredible human journey
What an incredible
What an incredible
What an incredible
What an incredible
What an incredible
What an incredible
Winds somewhere safe to sea
