This Train Album: Mimes from the Old West Track: Million Years
Million Years Lyrics
(Words and Music: Rich Mullins, Mark, Mitch McVicker)
These lyrics are poetic, heartfelt, and contain many wonderful images...that's how you can tell Rich wrote most of 'em.
Time doesn't scare me No I'm not impressed by time In the scheme of eternity Millennia don't seem to be worth much more than a dime Except for the love that you find in it Every minute's worth its weight in gold Whether you're a million years young, or a million years old
(Chorus) And if I'm still around a million years from now If I'd been around a million years ago Every thing I've learned or forgotten, imagined or come to know Would disappear into the moment, I found that love would not give out Even if I'm still around another million years from now
And change doesn't scare me No I'm not impressed by change In the light of reality These fads are just fallacies And they all get washed away Except for the change that brings me closer To the love that always proves As current as tomorrow or as ancient as the truth
(Chorus) And if I'm still around a million years from now If I'd been around a million years ago Every thing I've learned or forgotten, Imagined or come to know Would disappear into the moment, I found that love would not give out Even if I'm still around another million years from now
(Bridge) All the way-back-when's and ever after's Spin their wheels And love looks back And laughs at them from yet another million years
(Chorus) And if I'm still around a million years from now If I'd been around a million years ago Every thing I've learned or forgotten, Imagined or come to know Would disappear into the moment, I found that love would not give out Even if I'm still around another million years from now
