A falling ray of light illuminates the whole of eternity,
A distant stir of wind shakes something loose that had held tight for so long,
Nothing stays the same forever, a break of a twig can spiral into chaos,
As much as a falling tree, just falls and all is still.
A man alone on a lane, late at night can be innocent,
Just as the man in a crowded room, surrounded by friends is not,
Where one sees truth and light, others see deceit and corruption.
Nothing is as it seems, especially here and now.
The world we created, the world we built,
A world without limits, a world without guilt,
The world we created, our world in pain,
A world without conscience, a world of the vain.
A wave crashes against the shore on a distant moon,
An unstoppable force meets the immovable object and the world still turns,
No one can stay the same forever, a child with the eyes of an ancient,
And the old man who is younger than the day his wife died.
A child isn't always full of laughter, nights filled with fear,
Just as a prisoner can enjoy his days of solitude in peace,
Innocence is in the eye of the beholder, judge or be judged,
Nothing will ever be the same, time ticks on.
The world we created, the world we built,
A world without limits, a world without guilt,
The world we created, our world in pain,
A world without conscience, a world of the vain.
