As the song requires, there is a string-based bridge and somber guitar throughout. This version does not stray far from the original.
Dust In The Wind
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Oh, ho, ho
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
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind
Sarah Brightman's song "Dust In The Wind" is a cover of the song by the same name by the rock band Kansas. The lyrics are a meditation on the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death. The first verse speaks to the fleeting nature of time and how quickly it passes. The dreams that we have in life are like glimpses of something we want, but they don't last long and eventually fade away. The phrase "dust in the wind" reflects the notion that everything will eventually turn to dust, a recurring theme throughout the song.
The second verse expands on the idea that everything in life is temporary. The line "All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see" suggests that people are often in denial about their own mortality. Despite knowing that we won't live forever, we still cling to the idea that we are in control and can make a lasting impact on the world. The chorus repeats the phrase "dust in the wind" to drive home the message that nothing in life is permanent, and that we are all vulnerable to the whims of time and fate.
Overall, "Dust In The Wind" is a haunting reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment we have. Sarah Brightman's version of the song adds a haunting quality to the already melancholic lyrics, making it a powerful piece of music that resonates with audiences to this day.

I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All we 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

Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind)
Everything is dust in the wind
