He is broken, far from free Words were spoken, 'tween him and me "I had friends, yes, I was admired I'm so old now, feel so tired" Well he walks to the gate and he looks behind at life in rewind And wishes he had known these things while still alive still alive He can see reason in everything "Where do I go to get my wings" Going to fly She sees faces in her home Wonders why they (don't) leave her alone "You must know child, I am all here They think I'm failing, senile, I fear" Well she walks to the gate and she looks behind at life in rewind And wishes she had known these things while still alive still alive "I can see the purpose now and all I've learned All the roads and where they've turned I can see, I can see everything, the total truth I'm ready for another youth" Going to fly
