lyrics

“How It Should Be”

Time, you are a ghost
Tomorrow's just as close as here
As far as years

Time, you've got no corpse
No skeleton that begins
Or ends

When I think of all the people I've become
All of a sudden
They all are one

When I think of all the people that I'll be
I will remember
They all are me

We all follow a line
That we think of as time
But it's all in our minds
In our minds

All your life has been set
Infinite determinants determine it
But don't fret or forget
To live it

All our lives we spend afraid
Of the futures we have made
Living our lives day by day
Without god
Without faith

I just wish that we could see
Everything's how it should be
See and then really believe
Everything's how it should be

Everything's how it should be
Everything's how it should be
How it should be
How it should be
