When I was young, my father would say, "Time bends its back for no one, my son And the bright skies, they only fool the men who are blind So, look through the smile and see what's behind." Now you left, all my dreams drifted away I would try to move past but my life's not the same
If I only knew then the things I know now Then I'd take it all back and I'd turn it around
Cause I have so much to say And more to give today, yeah This is no life to live, you gotta give I have so much to say And more to give today, yeah This is no life to live, you gotta give Must be a better way Must be a better way
Now, here I sit, in a cage all my own It's a new life, it's a brand new home And it's made of steel, it's built out of fear It's closed up to you and it's part of the deal
If I only knew then the things I know now Then I'd take it all back and I'd turn it around
Cause I have so much to say More to give today, yeah This is no life to live, you gotta give Cause I have so much to say More to give today, yeah This is no life to live, you gotta give Must be a better way Must be a better way
Turn back the clock And put it all back I'll make the time last
Cause I've got so much to say And more to give today, yeah This is no life to live, you gotta give Cause I have so much to say And more to give today, yeah This is no life to live, you gotta give Must be a better way Must be a better way
I have so much to say And more to give today, yeah This is no life to live, you gotta give Cause I have so much to say And more to give today, yeah This is no life to live, you gotta give Must be a better way Must be a better way
