Sand sifting slowly through my fingers
Reach for a crystal but nothing lingers
So close, it seems it could really be mine
Already I see it slip away in time
As elusive as a rainbow, as transparent as a cloud
It will vanish like a password spoken aloud
The more I try to hold on, the less I can see
But look away and it’s back, calling to me
I wonder how to touch it – I wonder if I should
How can I really trust it – how can I know it’s good
How far do you need to reach for your destiny
How many places must you look before you find the key
A cloud that passes over the sun
A few drops of rain before it’s gone
What if I follow in its shadow
What if I stand and watch it go
