When I was young my father would say Time bends it's 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 Not 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 too much to say and more to give today This is no life to live (you gotta give) Cause I have too 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
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]
[Bridge] Turn back the clock And put it all back I'll make the time last.
