Written about a man who sees a beautiful sunset and wonders where it comes from. "Is the world just a grand mechanism, functioning all on its own, do I live breathe die and rot for nothin, just to perish alone?" These are the kinds of questions he works through to discover the answer.

lyrics

As the sun sets so my heart rises
As the sun sets I am stirred
Watch the leaves fall hear the birds singin
All my fears are so absurd

Is the world just a grand mechanism
functioning all on its own,
do I live breathe die and rot for nothin
just to perish alone?

You see I think there's much more to livin...
then just bein alive,
You see I think there's much more to dyin...
because death makes me cry

So I found the answer
That life's not about me
In all this pain and hurt I can be free
Cuz God gave His Son to save humanity
And bear my sins, impaled upon a tree

As the sun sets so my heart rises
As the sun sets I am stirred
