The lyrics are pretty self explanatory. It's pretty much like a comparison of the cycle of nature with the aging cycle of my life. Yes, I am a sixties revivalist at heart! Psychedelic on!

lyrics

The leaves will change, just like me
The sky will gray, just like me
The winds will slow down, just like me
There's cracks in the ground, just like me

I'm just a passerby
And we're all on this road to die
So I guess I'll make the best of it and see
Now the people can't seem to understand
That we're nothing really more than grains of sand
In the hourglass, until the end

The sun will drop west, just like me
The ocean waves will crest, just like me
The roots will grow thin, just like me
The season will end, just like me

I'm just a passerby
And we're all on this road to die
So I guess I'll make the best of it and see
Now the people can't seem to understand
That we're nothing really more than grains of sand
In the hourglass, until the end

The river still flows, just like me
It's unstoppable, just like me
The kids will grow, just like me
One day they will be just like me

I'm just a passerby
And we're all on this road to die
So I guess I'll make the best of it and see
Now the people can't seem to understand
That we're nothing really more than grains of sand
In the hourglass, until the end
