You Will Remain

I've put stock in things now vanishing invested time and energy

This fleeting world it flies by too soon

And I've focused on the past alas it seems these things weren't built to last

I watch them fall and crumble next to you

The burdens that we carry are all temporary

Photographs and memories will fade

The storms we're left to weather will not last forever

When all is said and done you will remain

When all is said and done you will remain

We're passengers transitioning from highs to lows and in between

Exhausted by the search it seems we're spent

To dwell to keep it in my mind ensures that I'd be left behind

Confused by life and asking where it went

The burdens that we carry are all temporary

Photographs and memories will fade

The storms we're left to weather will not last forever

When all is said and done you will remain

When all is said and done

Consistently you've shown consistency

In a world where ever-changing means that nothing's here to stay

Still you remain

And when the lights finally fade

We'll find ourselves standing face to face

With things that I've gripped tight and hoped to save

Your hand is clenched in mine to do the same

The burdens that we carry are all temporary

Photographs and memories will fade

The storms we're left to weather will not last forever

When all is said and done you will remain

When all is said and done you will remain

When all is said and done you will remain
