Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In this one of many possible worlds
All for the best, or some bizarre test
It is what it is and whatever
Time is still the infinite jest
[Verse 2]
The arrow flies when you dream
The hours tick away, the cells tick away
The watchmaker keeps to his schemes
The hours tick away, they tick away
[Verse 3]
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect
[Verse 4]
In the rise and the set of the sun
To the stars goes spinning, spinning round the night
Oh, it is what it is and forever
Each moment of memory and flight
[Verse 5]
The arrow flies while you dream
The hours tick away, the cells tick away
The watchmaker has time up his sleeve
The hours tick away, they tick away
[Verse 6]
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect
So hard to earn, so easily burned
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect (It's a measure of a life)
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect
The way you live the gifts that you give
In the fullness of time is the only return I do expect
[Verse 7]
The future disappears to memory
With only a moment between
Forever dwells in that moment
Hope is what remains to be seen
Forever dwells in that moment
Hope is what remains to be seen
[Verse 8]
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect (It's a measure of a life)
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect (It's a measure of a life)
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect (It's a measure of a life)
In the fullness of time
A garden to nurture and protect
[Verse 9]
(It's a measure of a life)
(It's a measure of a life)
(It's a measure of a life)
(It's a measure of a life)
