[Intro - pause]
When I was young my father would say
Time bends its back for no one my son
And bright skies they only fool a man who are blind
So look through the smile and see what's behind
Now that you left, all my dreams - drifted away
I try to move past but life's not the same
Pre-chorus
If I only knew then
the things I know now
I'd take it all back
and turn it around
Chorus
Cause I have so much to say and more to give today
this is no life to live (you gotta give)
Cause I have so much to say and more to give today
this is no life to live (you gotta give)
Must be a better way - a better way
[ ]
[v2]
Now I sit here in a cage all my own
It's a new life, it's a brand new home
It's made out of steel, it's built out of fear
It's closed up to you and it's part of the deal
Pre-chorus
Chorus
[Lead: 4x]
Bridge
Turn back the clock
and put it all back
I'll make the time last.
