Just like a flame

Just like a flame
Life is ephemeral
Reality
Is only temporal
Dawn turns to dusk
It’s inescapable
Like a supernova

Goodbye Sweet Yesterday
Can you feel the winds of change?
Goodbye Sweet Yesterday
Do you see the sunset up ahead?

Just for a while
We’re in our element
But mighty or meek
Nothing is permanent
We share in a journey
Back to the firmament
Of a supernova

Goodbye Sweet Yesterday
Can you feel the winds of change?
Goodbye Sweet Yesterday
Do you see the sunset up ahead?

Not everything
Is written in stone
The future depends
On the seeds we choose to sow
Can we wake up
From the virtual dream
Before it’s too late
And stop the machine?

Goodbye Sweet Yesterday
Now can you feel the winds of change?
Goodbye Sweet Yesterday
Do you see the sunset up ahead
Or the rising sun instead?
