Dust

It’s not too late to start again

To start again, to start again

It’s never too late to turn around

To double back and change your mind

After all from dust we came and to dust we shall return

So I’ll see you on the horizon

I’ll see you there at the break of dawn

At the break of dawn

Sweat comes pouring down your face

You built your life around this place

Feel the heat as the flames arise and burn it down before your eyes

After all from dust we came and to dust we shall return

So I’ll see you on the horizon

I’ll see you there at dawn

We once were children building castles in the sand

We’d smash them back into the land

We’d call it all good fun

Well now we build them big and tall

We weep and cry each time they fall

Then we hurry on to build again

We try so hard to leave a mark

We end up mostly leaving scars

Dig our toes in, sink our teeth in,

We want our names in history

But no one will remember you

And why on earth do you want them to?

The greatest men in history are now just names of what they used to be

After all from dust we came and to dust we shall return

Dust we shall return

So I’ll see you on the horizon

I’ll see you there
