MELANIE SAFKA Dust in the Wind – YouTube
Live peace, love and understanding – no time to put it off for later!
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone

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
Dust in the wind,
Everything is dust in the wind
