Impermanence Lyrics

We mean nothing here

Have no fear

Don't be surprised

When, at the end of life

You find your meaning derived from

Cause and effect

It's not what you expect

There's a hidden purpose

When you think you've found it

Look again

All there is

Here and now

I remember looking at a tree

It's not what you expect

Precariously hanging over a river

What seemed to me as a child

A permanent fixture of my surroundings

Succumbing to a river as ancient to it

As the tree was to myself

And so in our impermanence

Maybe we can find a place for ourselves
