Vapor

Life is but a fleeting steam
A gentle mist, a tender haze
That appears, then softly fades away

The time that has already passed
Is what has tenderly shaped us
And slowly, all else is left behind

This life of ours is fleeting
And yet so long at the very same time
I know not if we should advance or simply wait

Too short to ever be wasted
Too long to be hurried through
For every precious thing, there is a perfect time

Everything rests in the hands of God
Nothing escapes His loving gaze
Let us trust

Everything rests in the hands of God
Nothing escapes His loving gaze
Let us walk on together

For we truly know nothing
And we can vanish, just as we came
Like stardust upon the road
Like a whisper of steam when the water is warm

And still, we try to divine
The hour when Heaven will call out our names
We try so hard to perceive
The moment our silken thread may finally break

A single teardrop holding a sweet poison
A sweet surrender over a lifetime's gaze
But do not think this love goes unseen
Every little thing that is unfolding

A tender sorrow, beautifully disguised
Behind a smile that longs for something more
A dam of emotion about to give way
And it seems as if no one can see

But be still, oh my soul
All things shall pass, so do not lose your heart

Oh my soul, all things shall pass
Do not lose your heart

But be still, oh my soul
All things shall pass, so do not lose your heart

Oh my soul, all things shall pass
Do not lose your heart

Everything rests in the hands of God
Nothing escapes His loving gaze
Let us trust

Everything rests in the hands of God
Nothing escapes His loving gaze
Let us walk on together

Everything rests in the hands of God
Nothing escapes His loving gaze
Let us trust

Everything rests in the hands of God
Nothing escapes His loving gaze
Let us walk on together

For we truly know nothing
And we can vanish, just as we came
Like stardust upon the road
Like a whisper of steam when the water is warm
