Life's a rhythm in a broken drum

Beating loud till your time is done

Underneath the sun we all will sway

To a song that whispers then fades away

Shadows dance where the daylight dies

Truth lies deep behind weary eyes

Hearts collide like waves on a stormy sea

Life then death it's a reckoning spree

Oh the circle it turns so slow

From the roots to the sky we grow

And when the stars call us back home

We leave echoes carved in stone

Birth is the spark but the flame may wane

Joy and pain are stitched in the same chain

The end's not the end just a doorway wide

To a place where the shadows glide

Footprints fade on the shifting sand

Time slips out like grains from a hand

But the melody lingers if the heart was true

Our song a gift we never outgrew

Life breathes in death finds release

Between every note we find our peace

So let the rhythm lead till it whispers still

Life and death hum a tune no heart can kill
