...and we never even realize...

from the mountain tops
we slide down the hills
from the depths of the seas
we swim through waters
from the heights of the skies
we take flights high and low
from one destination to another
we take rides
seeking the truth about life

in the ticking hours
in the painted rainbows
in the morning dew drops
we seek...
from crimson dawn to silent dusk
from the pastures of the past
to the unknown path of future
we seek the answers about life

we walk the paths
we take the steps
we run against the odds
we fight the winds
listening to the echoes of time laughing
we forget to perceive
...what is now

yesterday drops in memory box
tomorrow we paint
but we never get to find what we seek
for we forget to live our now
with all the answers smiling at us
as we let today slip through our fingers
...and we never even realize...
