Where have they gone the voices I knew?
Faded in shadows no trace left in view
We walked the same path we shared the same sky
But time swept them under and left me behind
I wonder who's next to follow their lead
Falling like leaves in the autumn breeze
As winter descends they fade from our view
Wandering souls we'll soon forget too
Who came before where are they now?
Those who stood where I stand somehow?
They were here then gone like the morning light
A breath in the wind gone out of sight
I'll carve out my name in the dust of the years
Knowing in time it will all disappear
I'll build all my dreams on foundations of sand
Grains swept away by the turn of life's hand
Who came before where are they now?
Those who stood where I stand somehow?
They were here then gone like the morning light
A breath in the wind gone out of sight
Like stars that fade when the sun starts to rise
We burn for a moment then fall from the skies
But somewhere someone remembers our flame
And whispers our names into the rain
Who came before where are they now?
Those who stood where I stand somehow?
They were here then gone like the morning light
A breath in the wind gone out of sight
Gone out of sight
Gone out of sight
