Forever
“Nothing lasts forever”
Rays of a rising amber sun banishes night
Their world begins anew, rebuilt, together
Money chases away sorrowful plight
Rays of a rising amber sun banishes night
In crevices where shadows may persist
Money can chase away their plight
Hope shines through the heavy mist
In crevices where shadows still persist,
A child cries out for swift relief
Hope tries to shine through the heavy mist
But deliverance is not brief
A child cries out for swift relief
Within tarnished walls, dust settles like a fallen feather
But deliverance is not brief
Life does not last forever
