The Sum of a Billion Years
All of the light that you can see
The sun, and the skies, the stars, the sea
Were forged in the fires of history
Everything that you think you own
Are like grains of sand upon a beach
Washed back to the depths from whence they came
An unknown and unknowable end
There's only you and me who are here
And we're the sum of a billion years
The words that you're hearing have already passed
They were the future now they're in the past
And nothing that's made will ever last
The good and the bad, the slow and the fast
There's only you and me who are here
And we're the sum of a billion years
If there's no future then there's no past
So just let it go
What does it matter to you
Stop chasing ghosts and just go with the flow
The sound of a billion drums
Drowned out by a billion guns
The loss of a billion lives
And the billions they left behind
A billion grains on a beach
A billion souls left unreached
A billion futures to make
A billion hearts yet to break
A billion words to be said
A billion thoughts in your head
A billion years yet to come
A billion songs to be sung
The sun, and the skies, the stars, the sea
Were forged in the fires of history
Everything that you think you own
Are like grains of sand upon a beach
Washed back to the depths from whence they came
An unknown and unknowable end
There's only you and me who are here
And we're the sum of a billion years
The words that you're hearing have already passed
They were the future now they're in the past
And nothing that's made will ever last
The good and the bad, the slow and the fast
There's only you and me who are here
And we're the sum of a billion years
If there's no future then there's no past
So just let it go
What does it matter to you
Stop chasing ghosts and just go with the flow
The sound of a billion drums
Drowned out by a billion guns
The loss of a billion lives
And the billions they left behind
A billion grains on a beach
A billion souls left unreached
A billion futures to make
A billion hearts yet to break
A billion words to be said
A billion thoughts in your head
A billion years yet to come
A billion songs to be sung
