Somewhere in Utah
Just the crumbled ruins of a former hut
Someone must have lived here once
Now it's all dust
Dust in the wind...

Dust in the wind

KANSAS

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind

..for so many a frightening thought, but to me a rather comforting one - that we do not last forever..
..that our existence here is limited, and that we are of little importance when it comes to the great Cosmic All..
..there is so much stardust out there, and that's what we are, too - STARDUST..
