Strange Force

I saw the boy running, I saw the time
Playing around that boy's path
I put my feet in the stream
And I don't think I ever took them off.
The sun still shines on the road and I never passed by it
 
I saw the woman preparing someone else
Time doesn't stop for me to look at that belly
Life is art's friend
It's the part the sun taught me
The sun that crosses this road that never passed.
 
That's why a force drives me to sing
That's why this strange force
That's why I sing I can't stop
That's why such a voice.
 
I saw many gray hairs on the artist's forehead
Time doesn't stop and yet it never grows old
One who knows the game
From the fire of the things that are
it's the sun
it's the road
it's the time
it's the foot
And it's the floor
 
I saw many men fighting, heard their screams
I've been at the bottom of every hidden will
And the surest thing of all things
Not worth a path under the sun
And the sun on the road
It's the sun on the road
It's the sun.
