Okay
Change, like the wind, like the water, like skin
Change, like the sky, like the leaves, like a butterfly
Would you live forever, never die
While everything around passes?
Would you smile forever, never cry
While everything you know passes?
Death's like a door to a place we've never been before
Death, like space, the deep sea, a suitcase
Would you stare forever at the sun
Never watch the moon rising?
Would you walk forever in the light
To never learn the secret of the quiet night?
Still, like a stone, like a hill, like home
Still, what I find is you are always on my mind
Could I feel happy for you
When I hear you talk with her like we used to?
Could I set everything free
When I watch you holding her the way you once held me?
Change, like the sky, like the leaves, like a butterfly
Death, like a door, to a place we've never been before
Would you live forever, never die
While everything around passes?
Would you smile forever, never cry?
