"There Is A Treasure" lyrics

"There Is A Treasure"

The city will still be moving in the morning
A million lives all breathing like a tide
Each one a story beyond our comprehending
Each trying to make a life and feel alive

And the trees will bloom down along the river
And the kids will race the fountains in the light
And someone will cry and pray that it gets better
And someone will stop and try to change a life

And the sun will rise like it always does
On the day that I die
And he world will spin, the sun will go on burning
Never even knowing I was alive

There's a treasure that we all know, but we can't have it
It's a place beyond the measure of our minds
It is where we go when we forget we're living
It is where we go when we forget we die

And all the tools we use to feel important
They are useless as a sailboat in the sky
Where old bones and heartaches are forgotten
It's a place we don't have words to describe

And the sun will rise like it always does
On the day that I die
And the world will spin, the sun will go on burning
Never even knowing I was alive
