Horace Silver - Forever Is a Long Long Time
Forever is a long long time
We can't measure it in terms of time and space
But the spirit that is yours is eternal
Living on from race to race and place to place
★ Verse 2 ★
Forever is a long long time
And the spirit that is you will never die
For the spirit does not end with the body
It goes on to teach us how and who and why
★ Bridge ★
It's so easy to see why we're despondent
What purpose does all our efforts have?
If we believe that life ends with the body
Then our outlook will most certainly be drab
★ Verse 3 ★
Forever is a long long time
And one body hardly seems enough to me
Just one lifetime to complete our desires
All our hopes and dreams of what we'd like to be
★ Verse 4 ★
Forever is a long long time
And our dreams will take us where we want to go
With the action and the faith to propel them
Our progression should be anything but slow
★ Verse 5 ★
Forever is a long long time
And before us lies a vast eternity
So don't worry if your plans are disrupted
For the spirit know what's best for you and me
★ Bridge ★
When we're planning the dreams that we envision
We're anxious to see them come about
The spirit that's within will always guide us
If by prayer and faith we rid ourself of doubt
★ Verse 6 ★
Forever is a long long long time
And the time will come when all desire's passed
When our bodies have fulfilled our ambitions
And we settle down to seek the spirit's task
And we settle down to seek the spirit's task
★ Outro ★
To seek the spirit's task
To seek the spirit's task
To seek the spirit's task
