If I build a castle with my hands and try to make my kingdom stand, soon, in time, dominion passes to another man.
Did I ever take the time to hold your hand; to live before I die?
And did I ever take the time to look into your eyes?
A million fires burn without a flame,
A million fires known to him by name.
We are pilgrims in this land, all numbered like the grains of sand,
And all our days on earth are like a vapour - understand.
Did I ever take the time to hold your hand; to live before I die?
And did I ever take the time to look into your eyes?
A million fires burn without a flame,
A million fires known to him by name.
Did I ever take the time to hold your hand; to live before I die?
And did I ever take the time to look into your eyes?
A million fires burn without a flame,
A million fires known to him by name,
You're know to him by name.
