Lyrics
Pleasure is Fleeting
Copyright © 2009 David Baumgarten
[Verse 1] It blooms like the flowers, (the flowers)
desires unleashed, But not the fruit borne, from seeds it has reached. From the depths to the vast skies above, Yet not the abyss, nor the heavens we love.
[Verse 2] It's the flight of the caged, (a flight)
wings spread in light, Yet in these skies does not take flight.
Sing songs of freedom, with hearts full and clear, But lose not thy heart in this melody, my dear.
[Pre-Chorus] Youth may chase pleasure,
as if that's all there is,
But beyond all the shallows,
Lies a much sweeter kiss
[Chorus] Seek with the vigor of bees on the bloom, For pleasure is fleeting, just witness the moon. Like roots that uncover earths treasures below, Pleasures remembered as the sweetest winds blow.
[Bridge] Regret not the past joys, but hold them near, As harvests of summer, with gratitude, dear.
[Verse 3] The seekers, the dreamers, (dreamers)
Neither young nor old, Finding joy in these moments, fearless and bold.
Is the spirit offended by joy or sorrow?
No more than the stars by the firefly's glow.
[Pre-Chorus] The song of the body,
a harp's gentle strings,
Plays the music of souls,
in the pleasure it brings.
[Chorus] Seek with the vigor of bees on the bloom, Yes pleasure is fleeting, just witness the moon.
Be like the flowers and bees you have seen, In the garden of life, where the heart still dreams.
