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?
