From 1978's 'Pyramid', one of the songs in that album with direct references to pyramids (the other was Pyramania). David Patton provided the singing.

Hello World!, I say WELCOME. I'm a 57 years old classic rock fan and musician. For the most part I only do covers of classic rock and folk songs but am known from slipping in an occasional ballad or instrumental here and there too.

Story behind the song
One of the most compelling lyrics from TAPP. The line "if all things must pass, even a miracle won't last" sums it up very well, we're just temporary passengers on this world and have done a terrible job in the upkeep... may be it is time to think twice about some of the stuff we do here...
Lyrics
What goes up, must come down What must rise, must fall And what goes on in your life Is writing on the wall If all things must fall Why build a miracle at all If all things must pass Even a miracle won't last What goes up, must come down What must stand alone? And what goes on, in your mind Is turning into stone If all things must fall Why build a miracle at all If all things must pass Even a pyramid won't last How can you be so sure? How do you know what the earth will endure? How can you be so sure? That the wonders you've made in you life Will be seen By the millions who'll follow to visit the site Of your dream? What goes up, must come down What goes round, must come round What's been lost, must be found
