The city held its arms open wide
As it stood and watched me go
And I swore it played back memories
In every single downtown window
Some days it feels less like growing up
And more like chasing down the wind
But as I turned the car down the boulevard
I heard the voices calling me again
From the darkness to the light
Every day in the hands of time
From the river to the ocean
Everything in motion
Everything in motion
There's a couple friends I call
When I want to reminisce about the days
Before the ringing in my ears
Before the lines had settled in upon my face
And when I hear their voices laughing
I start to wonder who I am
'Cause all at once I feel an inch
And then a lifetime from who I was back then
From the darkness to the light
Every day in the hands of time
From the river to the ocean
Everything in motion
Everything in motion
Well some nights I lie awake
And I wonder where we are
What a pale blue dot must look like
From the endlessness of stars
Oh, the majesty, the vanity
The winter nights to summer's longest days
All the loves and dreams and in-betweens
Will one day just fade away
From the darkness to the light
Every day in the hands of time
From the river to the ocean
Everything in motion
Everything in motion
Everything in motion
Everything in motion
