Minute by minute
You live and new choices are made
Building eternity
Every stone will be laid
Live for the moment, you'll only be wasting your time
You need to look through the eyes of forever to find
True value
Forever eyes
Forever eyes
They will never tell you lies
Forever eyes
You don't need to compromise
When you have forever eyes
Some people say
That you're crazy for planning ahead
Making investments
That only pay off when you're dead
Living for pleasure, you'll bury a treasure in time
You've got to choose what you do through the eyes that define
True value
Forever eyes
Forever eyes
They will never tell you lies
Forever eyes
You don't need to compromise
When you have forever eyes
Are you really making a change with what you do?
Do you ever think you're a stranger to the truth?
Have you been afraid to let go of your plan?
Do you hold a dream that will die in your hand?
Forever eyes
Forever eyes
They will never tell you lies
Forever eyes
You don't need to compromise
When you have forever eyes
Do you have forever eyes?
Forever eyes
Do you have forever eyes?
Forever eyes
You can have forever eyes
[Fade out]
