i can't look over the horizon 

but i know something is waiting 

in the orange and red 

that follows 

the setting sun 

for one more time 
i will sit in the same place 
as I have for so long 

for one more time
i will be the people 
i've grown to know 
love and hate

those who will come next 
should cherish the time they get 
for the minutes move faster 
closer to the end 

we can run fast  
run forever 
until we lose ourselves 
our spirit 
but it doesn't matter 

as we sit in the grass 
and breathe in 
as the air grows sweet 

When I am no longer 
The same as I once was 
And you have equally changed 

All these memories and moments 
That I once believed 
Would last 
Forever 

I've been to the desert 
Following something 
I cannot blame

See the ghosts by the water 
The horses in the rain 
The man lying by the river 
Hearing god call his name
