As I sat there and wathched
I saw the Show slowly unfold
When I listened, as well
I heard the words left untold
and the lies within the lives
of those poor wretched souls
who've been imprisoned since youth
within the life thery'd been sold
and they can't escape now
because they think they're too old.

so they sit back and watch
to see the Show slowly unfold
they'll also listen, as well
to hear the words left untold
and the lies within the lives
of those poor youthful souls
who want something for nothing
and are, themselves, the ones sold
only to learn their mistake
as they too, slowly grow old.

now we sit here watching
as the Show slowly unfolds
if we only listen as well
we'll hear the words left untold
and the lies within the lives
of those misguided souls
who've come here to bargain
for more power and gold
though it is never enough
to replace what they've sold
because, in spite of it all
they can't stop growing old.

I lean against the wind pretend I am weightless and in this moment I am happy
