6. Changes Every life must have a reason So I thought the story goes Just holding onto dreams now As reality steals the show Wisdom such an asset But it's gained too late in life The prize of youth without control Just the blade but not the knife The challenge is here Don't say what you fear What's over the hill do you know No longer the child, once were so wild Wait for the old man to show I wake up every morning Though I've slept through All of these years A cog that turns another Am I a clockword puppeteer The treadmill of surviving I'm still spinning round and round The motions I'm so use to That I need no sight nor squad The dawn of life, I've waited long to see Now the figure of resentment This is not how I thought it would be... Can't you see The challenge is here Don't say what you fear What's over the hill do you know No longer the child, once were so wild Wait for the old man to show The truth in the eyes, still weare the disguise For the wonders you may never see It's high time to fear, the final frontiers The face in the crowd is now me I painted life by numbers Every colour mixed so tru But how could I paint a rainbow When all I saw, it was blue The picture now is drying As I wipe dust from the frame A lifetimes picture is complete But the canvas is still so plain
