Old man of 17, walkin' down the road Your years go by like words Notes in the Book of Souls Young man of 21 I guess it ain't your style 'Cause you found the legend lied But did it with a smile
Yeah you're lookin' for a revelation You're dancing in the dark Deep inside your eyes Deep inside your heart Yeah but soon you got to face the angels Just as naked as you came Yeah the mystery is simple Just this: you're born to reign
Old man of 31, you feel like your time is gone There is so much that's hard But beautiful to come Young man of 34 Twisting in the wind Everything that you thought you knew You'll have to think again
I can see an angel coming And he might be dressed in black 'Cause in the vicious month when the tide has turned It's too late to go back Ah but soon you got to face the angels Just as naked as you came The mystery is simple justice You're born to reign
