NOT FOREVER
Written by Sara So Far

 

The sun will sink away for the moon to take her place

Always, but not forever

The heart will pass through clouds of thunder rain and mystery

Always, but not forever

The voice that gives a melody will fade away to silence

Always, but not forever

 

Beauty flourishes only to fade, and disappears without a trace

Always, but not forever

Moods change go up and down, all around, they keep us bound

Always, but not forever

Passions grow ’till courage fails, subdued by all the mind entails

Always, but not forever

 

Though it linger, wait

It will certainly come and not delay

He put hereafter in the hearts of men

It will certainly come and not delay

 

To dust we all return to dust and what has been will be no more

Always, but not forever

Ramshackle body for the soul to live in, fixed in time and space

Always, but not forever

Desire wears out like a cloth but then it never fits the same for both

Always, but not forever

 

Though it linger, wait

It will certainly come and not delay

He put hereafter in the hearts of men

It will certainly come and not delay

 

I’d better learn how to deal with freedom

before eternity comes my way

Find the former on the threshold of the latter

as you remember there’s but one Door to enter

 

Wait

It will certainly come and not delay

He put hereafter in the hearts of men

It will certainly come and not delay
