lyrics
Hourglass
Some may say true freedom lives in the mind
No palace made of gold can truly make one feel the sublime
The destination calls and it’s whispering for more
Yet one arrives to learn the journey was reward...inside
A lightning bolt cracks open the sky
And then it’s gone in the blink of an eye
Another sunset on the horizon
To disappear fading into the night
So many dreams to make last
So many years go by like a flash
Moments are here then rest in the past
Only so many grains in the hourglass
Longing for something to fill an empty space
Wishes granted yet the feeling still remains
The storm will lift and a patch of blue sky will appear
As the sun beams down like drying fallen tears
Taking time
A lightning bolt cracks open the sky
And then it’s gone in the blink of an eye
Another sunset on the horizon
To disappear fading into the night
So many dreams to make last
So many years go by like a flash
Moments are here then rest in the past
Only so many grains in the hourglass
A lightning bolt cracks open the sky
And then it’s gone in the blink of an eye
Another sunset on the horizon
To disappear fading into the night
So many dreams to make last
So many years go by like a flash
Moments are here then rest in the past
Only so many grains in the hourglass

Always excited to learn and hear what Alex Lifeson does next and this is a fabulous pivot. And Maiah Wynne is a poetic vocal talent, infusing her performance with complex emotion. More please! Perchance Music & Digital Media (SM)
Sometimes I'll be listening to music and a little disappointed. "Is this it? Is this all music can offer?" This really broke that for me, and reminded me of why I love music. Thark Type Beat
