I'm having my day   My place in the sun   I'll grow to resemble   The man I've become      There'll be time for reflection   When I reach that plateau   When the war has been won   No farther to go      And I fear   That it isn't enough   And I fear   That it isn't enough      I'm making a fortune   I swore to enjoy   These things I promised myself   When I was a boy      When I was a boy   And things moved too slow   And universes revolved around   Things I didn't know      When I was a boy   And I made mistakes   I was humiliated   'Til I knew my place      And I fear   That it isn't enough   And I fear   That it isn't enough      Ignorance hurts   Injustice inflames   I remember the feelings   But forgotten their names      When I was a boy   I saw through their lies   I swore I wouldn't become   The thing I despised      But events over take you   While you set your sights   On bigger game   On greater heights      God bless amnesia   And the things I've suppressed   I can reframe the image   I can discard the rest      A history of holes   Where the pieces won't fit   With the story you told yourself   And your place in it      So put on a brave face   Straighten that tie   And speak like you mean it   Give truth to the lie      And I fear   That it isn't enough   And I fear   That it isn't enough
