Changing Grime

We are the dust that changed to stay
And back to dust we’ll make our way
We are the children of its core
We are the change of evermore.

Mixed with the air of yesterday
We are the bearers of today
Up from the ashes and the grime
We’re the children of father time

And in the reading of his will
We all will pay the reapers bill
We are the children of his make
The candles on his birthday cake

We are the conscience of his sail
We are the presence of his bail
The dark of night the bright of light
The mind to find the truth of right

When all is said and finally done
We are the essence of one and one.
