Where Are We Going



Lifes Awating
Her Time On Hold Abateing
Where Are We Going
With our Excitement Inflateing
Where Are We Going

To seas Aroaring
Moutains Exploring
Animals Adoring
Where Are We Going

For There Are Death To Be Mourning
Goals Scoreing
Classes Boreing
Where Are We Going

But Time Is Slowing
Death Keeps Going
His Hold Not Slowing
Our Age Is Showing
Where Are We Going

Now There's Two Of Us
Life And Death
And Like The Arctic Breath
They Sit Still
ANd Play There Etearnel Chess

Yet Still I Sit Here To Find
The Answer Ive Been Looking For All This Time
To Die Knowing
Where Are We Going
