ashes to ashes

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
we are only here
to discover each one of us
rising high
and then soaring low
we are here to come to know

chorus:

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
we have come here to discover
each one of us
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
it is really each one of us

i drive out in the desert sky
and lay out under the stars
in the dark moonlight
and sometimes the shadows
grow so high
that i see my whole life in hindsight

chorus

driving up to the mountains
i can see the ocean floor
we are both soaring
we’ve seen this all before
now i head on down south
to where my family is
and i remember who i am
and where my shining star lives





chorus

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
i am rising now  like a phoenix
and i won't be left in the rust

well the river runs dry tonight
and there's been no rain
for over a fortnight
mountains crumble down
ice caps are melting now
we don't know where we can be found

chorus

this whole is passing quickly by 
we are born then live and soon we die
and when we live we know 
we’ve got so many things 
to see and grow into

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
we are each here to discover the ONE in us
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
we are here to discover 
the ONE in us
each one of us

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
