Think beyond the things of earth
This place where we were given birth
For daily something new life brings
Yet still beyond are higher things
No matter how amazed we are
At each computer, house or car
Another change one day will come
So soon things shift, too fast for some
So what's the answer in this place?
Has anyone claimed to win the race?
Of course that's not the goal down here
We have to learn to grow past fear
And since we knew right from the start
Our lives were merely works of art
When these are done we'll take our wings
At last to reach those higher things
