"I was about 15 I was walking the beach I was racing a wave It knocked me off my feet I feel into the tide It spat me back on the sand I laughed without a clue How lucky I was to land
It's been a long long time Since my life was spared It's been a long long time But I'm still not scared
It was the dawn of man I held the bone in my hand I was as hungry as death Wandering trough the sand I met a wild boar My bone came down with a crack I tasted flesh and blood And I swore I'd never look back
It's been a long long time But I had just begun It's been a long long time Out in the African sun It's been a long long time Since I learned that skill It's been a long long time Since my very first kill
If anyone's out there to see what we have done Can somebody tell me what we are to become Our tiny lives They fly right by This godly frame it does not care If we live or die
It was the month of June In Tianmen Square The Tanks were on TV But I was not yet there The guns they all went pop We heard the screams and shouts I was brought into this world As they were taken out
It's been a long long time So many people to mourn It's been a long long time Since the day I was born It's been a long long time And yet no time at all It's been a long long time And yet no time at all
If anyone's out there to see what we have done Can somebody tell me what we are to become Our tiny lives They fly right by Who were they and next to them Who the hell am I?"
