Aronil - What is Time?

I discovered this song from So You Think You Can Dance Season 3, with Lacey and Neil dancing a contemporary piece by Mia Michaels. It is so incredibly beautiful and it’s one of the most moving pieces I have ever seen on stage. It made me cry too. The mood was perfect, the choreography was kept simple, and the song is incredible. They really just performed it like they were in another world altogether. Have a look first at the dance.

Now have a thought on the lyrics of the song. The song is called Time by Billy Porter. It’s a beautiful beautiful song. I can’t get over it right not. It’s so incredibly touching….I need a moment. I can’t express enough what is going through my head, but it’s just swooning with emotions…sigh..

What is time?
Is it the autumn leaves that change?
Or the snow that floats from the sky

What is Time?
Is it the air we breathe?
Or the wings that teach
The new born bird to fly

Who can tell?
I don’t know
Will we change?
Will we grow?

What is time?
Is it eternity
In heaven
Or just a hope for peace on earth

Where’s the time
Gone in a blink of an eye
But with every blink
a birth

We live
We learn
We love
In time
We give
We urn
We grow

In time

Time for change
Its time to care
It’s not too late
Don’t despair
Reach inside your heart

To find the joy and love
To share with all mankind
For all we know

All we have
Is time
