I love this song...

Nothing Lasts Forever
By: Brett Dennen

I saw you spiraling
I saw you spinning back in time
through all your memories
such a quiet disease
you had forgotten me
but I'll always remember you dancing
across the kitchen in your orange handkerchief
such a quiet disease
I pray that when you dream you would remember everything
you know it all comes back to you in one conscience dream
maybe you'd sing and put words to all the things
that you think of in a day but forgotten how to say
nothing last forever
not even the mountains
someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea
we all shall be blessedly released
life is so precious it's as fragile as a dream
and in a moment we all grow our wings
I wish to sing as if no ones listening
I wish to dance as if no one is watching
I wish to dance as if no one is watching
and I, give thanks for my dreams
you can rob me of my sight
and you can poison my blood stream
but as long as I can dream then life is worth living
nothing last forever
not even the mountains
someday they will be swept away and swallowed by the sea
we all shall be blessedly released
nothing last forever
not even the sun
for all we know it could have burned out light years ago
darkness remains the hardest thing for us to outrun

I listened to this on my way into work and I thought it was worth sharing. I have been struggling with the "what's all this for" and "why all the suffering" meaning of life...etc...questions lately and as this song so eloquently says, as long as I can dream, life is worth living. Kind of like the sunset and cool breeze yesterday - take the good nuggets when they come along peeps, so we can get through the dark times with Grace.
