A memory in my mind
Fading with the sands of time
Far outside my reach
And going out with the tide
I want to grasp you and pull you back
But I know I have to let you go
So I draw back my hand
And smile
And wave goodbye
I watch as you fade off into the horizon
Until you disappear into the evening sun
For me, tomorrow will be
A journey all alone
Destination—unknown
Christ will lift my burden
He will make a new day rise
And carry my dreams
On eagle’s wings.
