about

Henry David Thoreau said, “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.” This is true within ever aspect of our lives, our ideals and our love. To survive they all need continuous care and vision; a choice that ultimately lies within each one of us.

lyrics

The Lovers of Our Time


We are the lovers of our time
Nights fueled with passion and desire
Warm summer nights speed by so fast
If we could only make them last
And stay the embers of the fire
We are the lovers of our time

We are the poets of our age
Youth fans the flames in voices new
While every chorus from every song
Helps us distinguish rights from wrong
And in our hearts we hold them true
We are the poets of our age

We are the dreamers of our youth
We give our visions wings to soar
But dreams like keeps need solid ground
For if there’s not they’ll tumble down
Crumbling to ruins upon the shore
We are the dreamers of our youth

Soon in our children’s eyes we see
Our world much brighter than before
We feed their hopes we fuel their dreams
We give them their own wings to soar

Now nights grow dark and words do fail
Our dreams passed on now fade from view
These wondrous years speed by so fast
We have the choice to make them last
Or disappear like morning dew
We were the lovers of our time

These wondrous years speed by so fast
Some of us choose to make them last
Precious the nights now spent with you
We are the lovers of our time
