Fleeting Moments

Honesty, loyalty, equality
Thought and deed they combine
To forge the soul we become
Fellowship, piety, human love
All the rest stays behind
Association by heart

Reach in for the love
And what makes us happy
Make good use of our time
It wont last forever
Fleeting moments
We share them
But some we must keep for our own

Happiness, prosperity
The common quest
Taking all of our lives
We feel it slipping away
Longevity, infirmity, dependency
On those paid to provide
In convenient exile

Reach in for the love
And what makes us happy
Make good use of our time
It wont last forever
Fleeting moments
We share them
But some we must keep for our own
For our own
Our own to keep
Our own to see
Our own to be

Humanity, humility, benevolence
Toleration and control
We so long to see
Sanity, security, serenity
Lay in ruin on the ground
Compromised identity

Reach in for the love
And what makes us happy
Make good use of our time
It wont last forever
Fleeting moments
We share them
But some we must keep for our own
For our own
