Dust In a Box

Sitting here on the beach after a wave 
This feeling I have, I often crave 
The warmth of the sunshine on my skin 
It clears my head, lifts the spirit within 

The smell, the sound, the breeze and the sand
It makes me feel part of the land 
I decide to lay back on the ground
Close my eyes and hear the sound 
Feel the breeze and feel my soul 
It is here that I feel whole 

I could stay here for hours 
I feel the ocean has special powers 
The sunshine the sand and the sea
I cant explain the affect it has on me

No matter if my life is tough 
If I come here soon enough 
My spirit again feels free and wild
A free sprit of a child

We all come from stardust 
In this theory I do trust 
We are all connected in some way 
Even once to rest we lay 

One day we will all 
Take one last breath turn and fall 
Still we will all remain 
The stardust from where we became 

It makes the sunshine and the sea
Constructing the bodies of you and me 
The dust creating the endless ocean 
Is the same dust an infinite potion

To reach my end Im not afraid 
My body to rest it will be laid
As I will then continue to live on 
We never die, we just change form...
