Cradle to the Grave

Mother, tell me,

I long to hear the stories

Just like long ago

All these memories

Start to fade before me

I cannot let them go

No, I can't let them go

From the cradle to the grave

It's a fear I can't escape

Where would be my hiding place

When you're gone?

Father, stay here,

Don't leave me like the other

No, I need you so

All you gave me

Father, how you loved me

Treated like your own

Don't ever let me go

From the cradle to the grave

It's a fear I can't escape

Where would be my hiding place

When you're gone?

There's no way to deny

The brevity of life

As time keeps marching on

All we have is lost

As time keeps marching on

All we have is lost

Nothing lasts forever

Nothing stays the same

From the cradle to the grave

It's a fear I can't escape

Where would be my hiding place

When you're gone?

From the cradle to the grave

It's a fear I can't escape

Where would be my hiding place

When you're gone?

How am I to carry on?

How am I to carry on?

As time keeps marching on

How am I to carry on?

All we have is lost

Nothing lasts forever

Nothing ever stays the same
