Where Does Life Ever Go?

Time has brought me here again

Wondering where it all began

Searching high and searching low

Where does life ever go?

First you’re young, then you’re old

Once were sad, now you’re bold

You reach out, pull back in

A holy life, a life of sin

Build it up, tear it down

Love in silence, built in sound

Say some words, take them back

Believe in peace, under attack

First in love, first in fame

Some do win and lose again

Build in thought, then negate

Seeking power, seeking rebate

First you crawl, then you run

Built in sadness, built in fun

Minds are hurt, then at ease

Planned out full, then released

Expanding middles, pushing edges

On the ground, standing on ledges

Building up, to let go

Words are said, thoughts unknown

Time has brought me here again

Wondering where it all began

Searching high and searching low

Where does life ever go?
