Hourglass Lyrics


Murray Mclauchlan Hourglass

Hourglass

Murrey Mclaughlin



Somehow I'm still an optimist,

Though you might think it's strange.

Though we can still make changes,

Before we're forced to change.

But I see the sand run out,

Through the hourglass.

I swear I don't remember,

That it ever ran this fast.

I swear I don't remember,

That it ever ran this fast.



I don't pray for the departed,

They are the lucky ones.

I pray instead for all of those,

whose futures yet to come,

Trying to make a better world,

Such as we've never seen.

Trying not to get run over,

By a global greed machine.

Trying not to get run over,

by a global greed machine.



What is it that we really need?

Is it bright and shiny stuff?

Is it all about the money?

Don't we ever have enough?

This self-perpetuating thing,

The human race has made,

Won't do us any good,

When the memory of us fades.

Won't do us any good ,

When the memory of us fades.
