Ashes to Ashes

ashes to ashes

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

we are only here

to discover each one of us

rising high

and then soaring low

we are here to come to know

chorus:

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

we have come here to discover

each one of us

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

it is really each one of us

i drive out in the desert sky

and lay out under the stars

in the dark moonlight

and sometimes the shadows

grow so high

that i see my whole life in hindsight

chorus

driving up to the mountains

i can see the ocean floor

we are both soaring

we've seen this all before

now i head on down south

to where my family is

and i remember who i am

and where my shining star lives

chorus

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

i am rising now like a phoenix

and i won't be left in the rust

well the river runs dry tonight

and there's been no rain

for over a fortnight

mountains crumble down

ice caps are melting now

we don't know where we can be found

chorus

this whole is passing quickly by

we are born then live and soon we die

and when we live we know

we've got so many things

to see and grow into

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

we are each here to discover the ONE in us

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

we are here to discover

the ONE in us

each one of us

ashes to ashes

dust to dust
