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
|
|
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
|
