If you feel that time goes by too fast
You should try to live a whole year in a day
If you are nostalgic for your past
You know ants don't ever get a chance to play

You were so strong now you're left without a heart
You must come down, make a fresh start

For now we stand, the highest trees will be falling like stones
For now we stand, tenacious beings, we'll be piles of bones
For now we stand

In time even walls have to come down
So what about a spruce outside of town
You've touched the sky and struck out of the pack

And now the earth beneath you wants you back

Just be patient you'll be living once again
Fleeting yet eternal

At the end, the highest trees will be falling like stones
For now we stand, tenacious beings, we'll be piles of bones
In time, the highest trees will be dropping like flies
And in time, I'll feed the earth I won't light up the skies
Time flies

We are all eternal
You will become an apple
And I will be a deer in a few hundred years

We'll meet again

For now we stand
