When I try to walk on water And try to follow the steps of my father ItÂ’s so easy to forget The lessons that I learned Should we listen to the children Take a look at what weÂ’re building ItÂ’s so easy to destroy The world in which we live
It keeps me up late at night When IÂ’m staring at the ceiling Deconstructing everything that I believe in Trying to hold on to these faded memories Today is not the same as it was when I was younger Is that a storm on its way I hear thunder Wake me up before I slip into a dream
Have you tried to walk on water Are you sinking as it gets harder ItÂ’s so easy to believe When youÂ’re watching your TV We should listen to the children Try to feel what they are feeling ItÂ’s so easy to destroy This world in which we live
Growing old late at night When IÂ’m staring at the ceiling Trying to remember everything I believe in Should I stop creating brand new memories Today is not the same as it was when I was younger The world is burning down and weÂ’re slipping under Who will save us and try to set the people free
When we try to walk on water And try to follow the steps of our fathers Its so easy to forget the lessons we have learned
