Inside the myth of youth I didn't see the truth Time was on my side I'll never die Train wrecks all around So high, the music loud Old men warning me But I'll never die The sky is wide Crowd applauds Life without The hand of God The swamp of middle age Gently punish me Get me outta here I don't wanna die The shine of summer fades Slowly turning grey Wrinkles tell a tale Of heartache and fail Shadow cast Growing long Can I see The hand of God? In a dream High above the prayers I could see Only we were there Sitting in my chair I don't have a care I'm warm in the sun My book is nearly done If I could go back There's so much I would say But I would not listen When I was your age Waiting for The night to fall Winter brings The hand of God One thing I learned Through it all There was no Hand of God
