Sands of Time lyrics
by Queen Kona
Look how far I've grown
Successor to the throne
I've gathered through the falls
And prospered through it all
The inversion of the hourglass sets in
Like a luscious flower picked
Picked at the stem
Destined to decay just as life begins
Eyes open wide
Inhaling sweet Mother Earth
Look how far I've grown
Successor to the throne
I've gathered through the falls
And prospered through it all
And I'll bring with me
These memories
Passed through our legacy
Our legacy
Our legacy
Mama, Mama
I′m not coming home
Mama, Mama
See how far I've come
Mama, Mama
I'm not coming home
So I′ll sow the earth
Let my kin live on
Yet I, once so alive
Enjoyed the fruit of Gaea's sweet surprise
So bountiful are her pleasantries
Although I've bargained all my hours into labor
As my zeal declines
So render me a passerby
Once titanic
Now a mite
The sands of time still trickle all the same
So I'll raise you up with what′s left of my name
My numbered days hold my love for you
I'll open my doors for you
And when the last grain falls
How have I touched you all?
The only things we leave
Are those we help to breathe
And when the last grain falls
How have I touched you all?
The only things we leave
Are those we help to breathe
