FOR A TIME song lyrics/words by Joel Sattler/music by Jim Scott
From the rivers and the valleys
To the distant mountainside
The earth is green and thriving on the rain and the sun
And all that has lived and died
And the trees reach to the heavens
While their roots cling to the earth
The seasons pass between the centuries
And all of the deaths become birth
For a time
For a time
And then to sleep again
For a time
For a time
But the cycle never ends
The sun vibrates the morning
As the flowers open eyes
The day awakens all the creatures of the earth
And all that will die becomes wise
And the trees reach to the heavens
While their roots cling to the earth
The seasons pass between the centuries
And all of the deaths become birth
For a time
For a time
And then to sleep again
For a time
For a time
But the cycle never ends
