What things today make their way to the top and

What is remembered and what's been forgotten

Where has it all been and where will it soon go

How will we ever find out if nobody wants to know



Have we made our mark

Will we be content

When we're looking back on how our lives were spent

The time we have is precious

What we have is what we get

It's up to us to make a lasting use of it



Understanding that we could build for hours

On an unstable and fragile tower

Helps us to see that our time must be used well

When our clock runs out will we have any stories to tell



How would it be if refills weren't free

I see a need

And it won't be filled by sitting down
