Look how far I've grown Successor to the throne I've gathered through the falls And prospered through it all The inversion of the hourglass sets in Like a luscious flower picked Picked at the stem Destined to decay just as life begins Eyes open wide Inhaling sweet Mother Earth Look how far I've grown Successor to the throne I've gathered through the falls And prospered through it all And I'll bring with me These memories Passed through our legacy Our legacy Our legacy Mama, Mama I'm not coming home Mama, Mama See how far I've come Mama, Mama I'm not coming home So I'll sow the earth Let my kin live on Yet I, once so alive Enjoyed the fruit of Gaea's sweet surprise So bountiful are her pleasantries Although I've bargained all my hours into labor As my zeal declines So render me a passerby Once titanic Now a mite The sands of time still trickle all the same So I'll raise you up with what's left of my name My numbered days hold my love for you I'll open my doors for you And when the last grain falls How have I touched you all? The only things we leave Are those we help to breathe And when the last grain falls How have I touched you all? The only things we leave Are those we help to breathe
