The warming sun, the cooling rain   The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze   The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you   Yet only eagles seem to pass on through   The words of love, the cries of hate   And the man in the moon who seduced you, then finally loosed you      You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob below   But you had put the flaming out so that others could now follow   To be out of the bounds and the barks   Of those who do not wish you well      You must blaze a trail of your own, unknown, alone   But keep in mind   Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal   The only survivors on this world of ours are      The warming sun, the cooling rain   The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze   The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you   Yet only eagles seem to pass on through   The words of love, the cries of hate   And the man in the moon who seduced you, then finally loosed you      You're old and disillusioned now as you realize at least   That all you have accomplished here will have soon all turned to dust   You dream of a future after life   Well that's as maybe, but I don't know      But you can't take what you left behind, you're all alone   So keep in mind   Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal   The only survivors on this world of ours are      The warming sun, the cooling rain   The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze   The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you   Yet only eagles seem to pass on through   The words of love, the cries of hate   And the man in the moon and now
