LYRICS:

Everything you see is impermanent
Every last star in the firmament
Everyone you love or you ever met
Every single thought running through your head
Every setting sun, every morning mist
All the works of art and the sciences
Every “out of body” experience
Everything you see is impermanent
Try, try, try not to let it throw you
You know you can find
Meaning in the moment
Meaning in the moment
Every sweet song that you ever heard
Each turn of phrase, every perfect word
Every back corner of consciousness
Every single thing is impermanent
Try, try, try not to let it throw you
You know you can find
Meaning in the moment
Meaning in the moment
No one will remember us
When we return to sand and dust
But there’s one thing that you can trust
When you feel all alone
Meaning in the moment
