ETERNITY

How long is eternity? Sounds never ending We compare it to infinity But everything that's supposed to last forever Always seems to come to an end So I get confused When I look to the sky What is this water hitting my eye Rain full of pain from a shame Hitting the earth My world is awake Taking a chance on whatever it takes To build We break Renew and replace Nine to five When life seems to favor those who take Our mind puts us in a cage Imprisoned moments Is when we realize Everyone dies But not everyone lives Why is the richest place When we've got one foot in the grave After we've grown old and decayed Remembering those hopes and dreams And how time is not a commodity That we cannot regain Is the day We change... © MICHAEL RYAN
