I looked at the river
Saw waves disappearing
   Floating together
   In motion forever
Scattering near me…
Never to stay,
   'Cos nothing remains the same…

I looked at the fire
A spirit never to tame
   A tender hearth
   A violent birth
Which gave life to new flame
The warmth is not to be fled from
   For nothing remains the same

I breathed in fresh air
The wind taking over me
   So clear the sky
   In freedom to fly
Through the clouds of eternity…
Since time is unending,
   And nothing remains the same

I saw you beside me
I wanted nothing to miss
   The fire in your eyes
   The wind which brought ties
I drowned in your kiss
Nothing has altered
   …yet nothing remains the same
