The Winds of Time

It takes more than a good intention
It takes more than a cursory line
It takes more than mortal vigor
To withstand the winds of time

It takes more than an eager heart beating
It takes more than an enigmatic smile
It takes more than positive thinking
To stand against this tide

It takes more than mindless passion
It takes more than dogma in mime
It takes more than virtuous passion
To withstand the winds of time

It takes a saturated soul
And a faith that will never let go
To withstand the winds of time
