In the dark of the night
A shooting star does fly
It burns for a few moments in time
Falls to the earth where it will
soon die.
Time moves forward
It always moves ahead
We are here for a few moments in time
Then we are gone, dead.
As time keeps moving
The earth keeps turning
Lessons for the teaching
Lessons for the learning.
We are but spokes
Inside a bigger wheel
When our time comes..it comes
Cannot barter nor make a deal.
Living and dying
It's neither fickle or choosy
And it is endless
Like the tides in the sea.
Live you time to the fullest
Every day anew
For when it comes your time
No regret will befall you.
So lay on that blanket in the yard
Watch that shooting star
Think where you are
It just might be where you are.
