Everything in Motion

The city held its arms open wide As it stood and watched me go And I swore it played back memories In every single downtown window Some days it feels less like growing up And more like chasing down the wind But as I turned the car down the boulevard I heard the voices calling me again From the darkness to the light Every day in the hands of time From the river to the ocean Everything in motion Everything in motion There's a couple friends I call When I want to reminisce about the days Before the ringing in my ears Before the lines had settled in upon my face And when I hear their voices laughing I start to wonder who I am 'Cause all at once I feel an inch And then a lifetime from who I was back then From the darkness to the light Every day in the hands of time From the river to the ocean Everything in motion Everything in motion Well some nights I lie awake And I wonder where we are What a pale blue dot must look like From the endlessness of stars Oh, the majesty, the vanity The winter nights to summer's longest days All the loves and dreams and in-betweens Will one day just fade away From the darkness to the light Every day in the hands of time From the river to the ocean Everything in motion Everything in motion Everything in motion Everything in motion
