In the world we live

In the time

In an era

In between birth and death

We strive

We believe

But wondering



Where is the treasury

Of knowledge?

Of reason?

Of life and ideas?

Some start in the now

Rejecting the past

Believing unshakably in things that don't last

In things that don't last



Am is are was

All that has been done

Be been being

All that's yet to come

Am is are was

All that has been done

Be been being

All that's yet to come

Thy will be done



Sum of all knowledge

Source of all being

In nature refined

The one and many

The votive divine

From beginning benign

Eternal design

So high and sublime



Am is are was

All that has been done

Be been being

All that's yet to come

Am is are was

All that has been done

Be been being

All that's yet to come

Thy will be done



We don't know why

We don't know why



Am is are was

All that has been done

Be been being

All that's yet to come

Am is are was

All that has been done

Be been being

All that's yet to come

Thy will be done

Thy will be done
