Dear God from The Future by Eliot Wilder

The clock on the wall is spinning around
'Round, 'round and 'round
Like a wheel that's set
In perpetual motion
And it yanks us along
So cool and so unwittingly
Like the pull of the undertow in the ocean

And then a giant wave crashes in
And sweeps us all away
And we sigh dear God
Dear God

To the lonely and invincible of the earth
To endure and then endure
Tomorrow and tomorrow
Dear God

The clock on the wall is spinning around
'Round, 'round and 'round
And the planets
All revolve around the sun
And we are merely dust
And we are barely dreams
That fade away when the day is done

And we hush with our breath to hear
And we strain with our eyes to see
And if the shores are drawing near
Eternity! Eternity!

And then a giant brush sweeps in
And wipes the old slate clean
And we sigh oh my
Oh my
