: : I am hoping someone on this board can help me. A few days ago, my life was forever changed in only an instant. I want to get a tattoo that will remind me that everything can change in an instant. I am going to put the phrase in small script in the form of a tattoo...does anyone know of a short phrase or quotation that embodies this idea? I would greatly appreciate your help.
: Well, there's the song:
: 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, ohh
: 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
