Truth is truth,
Say what you will,
Ancient wisdom
Conquers still.
The relative
And absolute
Will still remain
When all is moot.
Epochs pass
And eras too
Yet light remains
For true is true.
Knowledge withers
Like the tree
The beasts that roam
And you and me.
Lands may shift
And mountains fall
Valleys form
New creatures call.
Epochs pass
And eras too
Yet light remains
For true is true.
Evolving world
To understand
Histories told
Each time, each land.
Records show
A changing face
Where is the constant
In this race?
Epochs pass
And eras too
Yet light remains
For true is true.
A mighty bang,
Exploding mass,
Expanding universe
To last?
One short journey
Here we have.
Fulsome earth
And constant birth.
Epochs pass
And eras too
Yet light remains
For true is true.
Creation hand,
A bolt of light,
Separating
Day from night.
A dusty passing,
This life lost,
A radiant glow
A new life host.
Epochs pass
And eras too
Yet, light remains
For true is true.
