Tom Roger Aadland - Transient lyrics

It fell upon you heavily, it took you by surprise But water that's been stirred Still reflects a piece of sky So take these sunken dreams of yours And blow them up so high We're just transient I saw you turn to strangers Who took turns to turn you down To petty-money-changers Who never saw the substance of your ground Now you stand before them Won't you share what you have found We're just transient So you who bear the name of prophets Carry it with pride The hemispheres may drift apart The oceans may collide But angels with their flaming swords May stand right by your side We're just transient These fragments that we whine over Shall whither like the dust And slowly give way to a love That flushes void of lust And the frailties we've gathered Shall be traded in for trust We're just transient
