It fell upon you heavily, it took you by surprise
But water that’s been stirred
Still reflects a piece of sky
So take these sunken dreams of yours
And blow them up so high
We’re just transient
I saw you turn to strangers
Who took turns to turn you down
To petty-money-changers
Who never saw the substance of your ground
Now you stand before them
Won’t you share what you have found
We’re just transient
So you who bear the name of prophets
Carry it with pride
The hemispheres may drift apart
The oceans may collide
But angels with their flaming swords
May stand right by your side
We’re just transient
These fragments that we whine over
Shall whither like the dust
And slowly give way to a love
That flushes void of lust
And the frailties we’ve gathered
Shall be traded in for trust
We’re just transient
