|
It's been a long and amazing time, how it's wasted is such a crime |
|
And the stories we heard still echo in the distance |
|
Filled with promises and pain, we had everything to gain |
|
But the pride that comes before a fall is with us |
|
Lights are on and nobody's home, we've gone from color to monochrome |
|
Like some faded photograph with ghostly faces |
|
Whether enemy or a friend, it's the message that we send |
|
We will never change without until we change within |
|
Chorus: |
|
Back when the world was so young (when the world was young) |
|
To the day when the first song was sung (when the world was young) |
|
We chose our own way to black, white or gray |
|
When the world was young |
|
Are we learning from the past or has it all been already cast |
|
Who can change the course of a war against all reason |
|
There was one prevailing wind and we said we've got to make a stand |
|
And now the barrier's between us for a treason |
