Six Degrees of Separation - Passing On Lyrics

Succession is core of life
Building one step at a time
Clearing paths for those to come
Withering the spent and done
Future waits with open arms
That embrace is meant for you
We have had our only chance
Now it's your turn to push through
Moving apart
Do not be sad
You're at your start
We're at our end
This is how it's meant to be
Like the waves on open seas
One is gaining mass and speed
While the other disappears
Moving apart
We stay behind
We've done our part
Yours has begun
It's all right, nothing's amiss
Any regret is misplaced
In our time we've been through this
And one day you'll take our place
Everything's fine
All is as should be
We move to past time
Into memories
Everything's fine
And we now have to let you go
Everything's fine
But we won't catch you if you fall
Not anymore
It is all yours now, big and small
Everything's fine
There's no other way after all
