Why are we here?
If we walk the earth that covers our forefathers
When we are spending their money and our sons will spend ours.
We are breathing the same air and chasing the same wind as those beneath the ground.
Every step takes us closer to lying next to them in the soil.
Nothing we do changes our fate.
Moth and rust take the work of our hands And the grave awaits us patiently.
When there is nothing left God remains on the throne
Enjoy what you have.
Eat, drink, love, toil.
Think of God while you are young.
Seek Him out.
Fix your eyes to Heaven.
Run towards those gates.
All has been gained
All has been lost
All has been read
All has been burned
All has been drunk
All has been revealed
All has been buried.
The wind still blows
The sun still sets
God remains on the throne.
