Intro
--------
Verse 1
They say elders gain
the wisdom of years
As time goes by I fear
growing up and feeling
like the best years are done
Spend life waiting for
things that never come and
Chorus 1
Hope When living through
the memories of youth
Hope When repetition
guides you
Hope When wondering how
you wound up this way
I hope the wisdom's
worth the wait
Post Chorus: --------
Verse 2
Life's mold gradually
enfolds you
Uniqueness given up to
be accepted by your peers
Come in from your 9 to 5
Hang your coat and tie
High School yearbook's
still on the nightstand
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Interlude
--------
Bridge
Salutations and
"How's your day been?"
routine superficial
conversations
They've Gotten too deep
but somehow you keep
working to afford another
F--
day you'll live to hate
Chorus 2
Hope When living through
the memories of youth
Hope When repetition
guides you
Hope When wondering how
you wound up this way
I hope I never fall in line
I've seen it one too many times
I hope the wisdom's
worth the wait
