| I’ve put stock in things now vanishing, invested time and energy
|
| This fleeting world it flies by too soon
|
| And I’ve focused on the past alas it seems these things
|
| weren’t built to last
|
| I watch them fall and crumble next to You
|
| The burdens that we carry are all temporary
|
| Photographs and memories will fade
|
| The storms we’re left to weather will not last forever
|
| When all is said and done You will remain
|
| When all is said and done You will remain
|
| We’re passengers transitioning from highs to lows and in between
|
| Exhausted by the search it seems we’re spent
|
| To dwell to keep it in my mind ensures that I’d be left behind
|
| Confused by life and asking where it went
|
| The burdens that we carry are all temporary
|
| Photographs and memories will fade
|
| The storms we’re left to weather will not last forever
|
| When all is said and done You will remain
|
| When all is said and done…
|
| Consistently you’ve shown consistency
|
| In a world where ever-changing means that nothing’s here to stay
|
| Still You remain
|
| And when the lights finally fade
|
| We’ll find ourselves standing face to face
|
| With things that I’ve gripped tight and hoped to save
|
| Your hand is clenched in mine to do the same
|
| The burdens that we carry are all temporary
|
| Photographs and memories will fade
|
| The storms we’re left to weather will not last forever
|
| When all is said and done You will remain
|
| When all is said and done You will remain
|
| When all is said and done You will remain |
