No one ever tells you that the worst part of getting old
Is the transformation of life around you to a color as grey as stone
Innocence seems so far away and remembering's a losing cause
As we strap into our suits and head to our 11 hour jobs
I remember days of feeling small beneath the cities in the sky
And as I watched, they shaped themselves to the thoughts behind my eyes
Now particles in gaseous clouds beneath the ozone line is all I see
With a cycle that starts and ends in rain, on a sad and empty soul like me
In wisdom we seek truth to questions always on our minds
but in knowledge we wedge out our gifts to read between the lines
When once we had ideas that could break the walls of any box
the textbooks and lectures have numbed us down as our imagination drops
I remember days of feeling small beneath the cities in the sky
that would bend and twist and shape themselves to the thoughts behind my eyes
Now particles in gaseous clouds beneath the ozone line is all I see
With a cycle that starts and ends in rain, on a sad and empty soul like me
But that's not what I want it to be
That's not what I want to believe
