ASHES

Ashes to ashes, 
Dust to dust 
See your life in flashes, 
Everyone you love and trust 

Never thought we’d grow old 
Inside we’re still young 
Never doing what we’re told 
Our life had just begun 

I’m not scared of the dark, 
But I still want to chase the sun 
And never let it set on me 
But dawn turns to day, 
And day to dusk, 
Dusk to dark, it’s a must. 

Always laugh when we can
Life is too short 
Time is slipping through our hands, 
What are we living for? 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 
Your lifeline crashes, it’s a must.
