Lyrics

WAIT - LOOK AT THESE CHILDREN YOU HAVE MADE
YOU'VE GOT SO MUCH TO DO, TO PROVE, TO CARE FOR
NO CONSEQUENCE, NO PAIN, NOTHING IS SAFE

I WAS ON A GOLDEN PATH AND
SOMEHOW WANDERED OFF IT
HAVE TO SHAKE THIS FEELING THAT I'LL
NEVER GET BACK TO IT

TIME - TIME WILL HEAL ALL YOUR FEARS,
UNCERTAINTIES AND DOUBTS
LISTEN TO THIS SONGS MELODY - EMBRACE IT
YOU CAN BE FREE AND YOUNG AND BRAVE AND
STRONG

I WAS ON A GOLDEN PATH AND
SOMEHOW WANDERED OFF IT
HAVE TO SHAKE THIS FEELING THAT I'LL
NEVER GET BACK TO IT

CAN I CHANGE SIDES ONCE AGAIN
BACK TO WHAT I HAD?
PASSION, DREAMS, AND HOPEFULLNESS
I WILL DO WHAT I CAN
