Million Years Lyrics

(Words and Music: Rich Mullins, Mark, Mitch McVicker)

These lyrics are poetic, heartfelt, and contain many wonderful images...that's how you can tell Rich wrote most of 'em.

Time doesn't scare me
No I'm not impressed by time
In the scheme of eternity
Millennia don't seem to be worth much more than a dime
Except for the love that you find in it
Every minute's worth its weight in gold
Whether you're a million years young, or a million years old

(Chorus)
And if I'm still around a million years from now
If I'd been around a million years ago
Every thing I've learned or forgotten, imagined or come to know
Would disappear into the moment, I found that love would not give out
Even if I'm still around another million years from now

And change doesn't scare me
No I'm not impressed by change
In the light of reality
These fads are just fallacies
And they all get washed away
Except for the change that brings me closer
To the love that always proves
As current as tomorrow or as ancient as the truth

(Chorus)
And if I'm still around a million years from now
If I'd been around a million years ago
Every thing I've learned or forgotten,
Imagined or come to know
Would disappear into the moment,
I found that love would not give out
Even if I'm still around another million years from now

(Bridge)
All the way-back-when's and ever after's
Spin their wheels
And love looks back
And laughs at them from yet another million years

(Chorus)
And if I'm still around a million years from now
If I'd been around a million years ago
Every thing I've learned or forgotten,
Imagined or come to know
Would disappear into the moment,
I found that love would not give out
Even if I'm still around another million years from now
