lyrics

The young man walks down the lonesome road
He knows where he's been but don't know where he goes.
Walks with pride at a quickened pace,
He's the only one running the race.

The old man says, "slow down, my son,
There's more to see, no need to run."
But he don't heed the old man's cry,
And he won't understand until later in life.

When you grow tired
Of living in waste and your killing for spite.
Feeding desire,
You'll never grow into your self centered life.
But no one wanted you to try.

He talks to God when it feels right,
He'll turn to the sun and let in the light.
But when the darkness calls his name,
He'll shut his eyes and enter the cave.
Then back down on your knees
To pray to a God that you've never seen.
And oh, me and him are the same
But I walk with the living while you worship the lame.

And you grow tired
Of living in waste and your killing for spite.
Feeding desire,
You'll never grow into your self centered life.
You'll never grow into your self centered life.

This man that you see, this is not your design.
You're made to be free if you'd just cross the line.
