It Takes A Lifetime - Minimal Compact

Facing a mountain and the valley below

Hours of climbing to get down so low

First loves and memories are fading like snow

Where did I come from?

And where do I go?

Oh It takes a lifetime

Maybe the seasons will change things in me

Sorrowful trance into real ecstasy

Lunatic logic and feelings in vain

Must be a something I’ve still got to learn

Oh it takes a lifetime

Never knowing is it our turn to go

Hiding scars and the cracks don’t show

Wind and sand — Only one way to blow

Never knowing is it our turn to go

Oh it takes a lifetime — In Me
