It's all fading fast
The world that I see won't last
And it feels like the tighter I hold on the quicker it all slips away
And time knows no mercy
It slows down for nobody
The clockwork ticks steadily forward
(Driven by) a lifeless machinery
Seems like every seed must die
Fall to the earth for a while
It's hard to lose, and it hurts to let go
But every seed must die
For new life to grow
I have a cousin
He said while he was praying
Every color burst to life around him in a shimmering dance
Then he looked me in the eye
Said "I'm no longer afraid to die
For the love that we share here together
Will never pass away"
Yes, and every seed must die
Fall to the earth for a while
It's hard to lose, and it hurts to let go
But every seed must die
For new life to grow
And my heart beats that it's true
My eyes perceive just a partial view
Though beauty seems to flee
It's a signpost for a world I will one day see
