And you hear the same people
Throwing wishes away
"The next will be better
Than last years", they say

The sands will forever
Slip through your hand
For the life that was lost
Will remain

And you kick out the door
And you ask every god
But the answer never comes

And you realize still
That what matters will heal
Despite your prayers unheard

And you hear the same people
Throwing wishes away
Their life lacks of courage
Their words lack of sense

Reach forth for the time
That you've wasted away
For the life that was lost
Will remain

And you hear the same people
Throwing wishes away
"The next will be better
Than last years", they say

The sands will forever
Slip through your hand
For the life that was lost
And the life that was lost
Will remain
