Lyrics:  

man will only grieve
     if he believes the sun stands still

The worm is a moth as a moth is a worm
and the eye of the hawk is the wool of the lamb
an acorn is an oak tree as a nettle is a rose
and man may laugh in the winter of sorrow
and weep in the summer of joy.

The sun is moving through the sky,
the moon is drinking the sea
and man will only grieve if he believes the sun stands still,
and man will only grieve if he believes the sun stands still.
