I was an ocean
Then I went up to the clouds
Then I came back down
And a bunch of people drowned

I didn't have much time
Before the sun came out to shine
It made me leave the ground
And all that I had found

I was an ember
I grew into a spark
I became a flame
And burned them just the same

I didn't have much time
Before the sun came out to shine
It made me much less bright
And now I feel so slight

I felt like dirt
Just a crumb upon the earth
I didn't have much worth
Yet people still got hurt

I didn't have much time
Before the sun came out to shine
It dried me out so much
That crumbled at your touch

I was in the air
Then I went into your lungs
Inside there I hung
But I left you when you sung

I didn't have much time
Before the sun came out to shine
It made you lose your breath
And you exhaled me to death
