Hourglass Lyrics

Hourglass

Murrey Mclaughlin



Somehow I'm still an optimist,

Though you might think it's strange.

Though we can still make changes,

Before we're forced to change.

But I see the sand run out,

Through the hourglass.

I swear I don't remember,

That it ever ran this fast.

I swear I don't remember,

That it ever ran this fast.



I don't pray for the departed,

They are the lucky ones.

I pray instead for all of those,

whose futures yet to come,

Trying to make a better world,

Such as we've never seen.

Trying not to get run over,

By a global greed machine.

Trying not to get run over,

by a global greed machine.



What is it that we really need?

Is it bright and shiny stuff?

Is it all about the money?

Don't we ever have enough?

This self-perpetuating thing,

The human race has made,

Won't do us any good,

When the memory of us fades.

Won't do us any good ,

When the memory of us fades.
