Glory

Come watch the trees explode
in the mornings burning glory
listen to the dawn
as it builds the beginning of my story

Nothing lasts forever
at least not the way
that we had planned
though we build and we scrape and we create to try shape time
yeah we hold it in our hands

Don't you hide those eyes from me
don't you hide those eyes
don't you hide those eyes from me
don't you hide those eyes

Pouring over and over old photographs
see how you used to laugh
how we used to smile
and what if I don't last till tomorrow
if my body breaks down and my mind breaks away
and I just dissipate

And in the last moments of the time when that energy was me
would I look back one last time and ask was my life complete

Would these pictures be enough to say its ok I did it I done it its all been fun
or would my spirit begin to cry ask himself why I didn't try I didn't care

Cause it's my time as one was precious a message to the rest of us
don't put your dreams up on the shelf

It's what I believe you're gone once you leave
never live your life through someone else

Don't you hide those eyes from me
don't you hide those eyes
don't you hide those eyes from me
don't you hide those eyes
