Not The First

Life goes on, we rise and fall
It's nothing new under the sun
I'm not the first nor the last
To leave my mortal trace between the future and the past

lot of water has passed under the bridge
Since I last hoped to make you think
You still grope for reliance
Pass your sins in review, it stands to reason that I do

We are here on Earth for a moment, we pass away
Like a dying sun we fade, hoping to be saved
We are in this place for a moment, looking up
Reaching to the stars, dying like the sun

Let me be your angel now
Let me guide you through the disingenuous crowd
I'm not the first nor the last
I'm not the burning one, but I can see eternal light

We die for highered colours thou we seem it makes no sense
For what we love today - tomorrow - goes away
Between joy and sorrow, we keep on changing toys
And what we build is always followed by what we destroy
