A mountain stands the rivers flow
Through ages past they come and go
Before the stars had learned to shine
The earth was old yet we call it mine
We built our towers to touch the sky
We wrote our names but they fade with time
All that we treasure all that we claim
Will turn to dust forgotten remains
I want one second in time
When we see what we truly will always be
When all that we build is just waves on the ocean
And time doesn't hold the weight of devotion
Give me one second
Give me one second in time
The echoes fade the stories die
Like footprints lost where deserts lie
We chase the stars we fight we dream
Yet nothing lasts-just dust in the stream
We draw the lines we claim the land
But time erases what's built by hand
All of our triumphs all of our pain
Washed away like a whisper in rain
I want one second in time
When we see what we truly will always be
When all that we build is just waves on the ocean
And time doesn't hold the weight of devotion
Give me one second
Give me one second in time
The mountains will crumble the rivers will dry
The world will keep turning long after we die
No kingdom will stand no stone will remain
We're shadows just passing through time's endless chain
I want one second in time
When we see what we truly will always be
When all that we build is just waves on the ocean
And time doesn't hold the weight of devotion
Give me one second
Give me one second in time
One second...
Like whispers that vanish...
Like dust in the wind...
