Forwards

Man is not an island Man is a drop of rain We must land where we fall We have no choice, no say You cannot stop it You cannot choose Until you find your place Until you find your path Man is not an island Man is a river Swept along through a world of questions Swept along to the final answer You can only carve your path You can only feel your way We cannot slow We cannot cease Man is not an island Man is the sea I am surrounded, and lost I cannot touch, but I can see We can feel, we can know We are changing, we are growing You must learn You must search Man is not an island Man is a wave You are trapped in your course You have set your path Never moving backwards Never looking forwards Changing what you touch Changing what you see Changing Changing Changing Man is not an island Man is a drop of rain We have done what we can We have made our choices I cannot turn back I cannot stop You are ending You are falling Falling Falling Falling

So true. We must take our course in life and let it guide us in our journies in life.
