Als ich Richard bat, sich für dieses Album fünf meiner Songs auszusuchen und Texte dazu zu schreiben, war ich überrascht, dass er zu diesem eher fröhlichen und positiv klingenden Stück einen sehr persönlichen und nachdenklichen Text lieferte. Vielleicht liegt in diesem Spannungsverhältnis gerade der Reiz des Tracks.
Er übernimmt hier auch die Rolle des Hauptsängers. Die Backgroundstimmen haben wir uns geteilt.

Found a purpose, t'was better late than never
After all you can't change what lies behind
Even while in the blocks you are aware that
In the distance you see the finish line
Tirelessly in the hourglass the sand
kept on running - Now
take me back to the roots where there's wind
and the sun's shining
I'll return to the earth, drifting into a hollow - And
when you scatter my ashes three rules
must be followed:
Up on a mountain
Under a tree and
Nowhere a church in sight
Up on a mountain
Under a tree and
Nowhere the sound of church bells
No, not really complaining
Chances looked pretty fair
Of this I now can assure you:
Once you're dead life's much easier to bear
Found a purpose, t'was better late than never
After all you can't change what lies behind
Even while in the blocks you are aware that
In the distance you see the finish line
All the joy you shared with me so freely
Came out of the blue
First that you'd been wanting me appeared like
Just another rumour
All the joy you shared with me so freely
Came out of the blue
First that you'd been wanting me appeared like
Just another rumour
Tirelessly in the hourglass the sand
kept on running
I'll return to the earth, drifting into a hollow - And
when you scatter my ashes three
rules must be followed
Found a purpose, t'was better late than never
After all you can't change what lies behind
Even while in the blocks you are aware that
In the distance you see the finish line
After all you can't change what lies behind
Even while in the blocks you are aware that
In the distance you see the finish line
Tirelessly in the hourglass the sand
kept on running - Now
take me back to the roots where there's wind
