You were a survivor after all   You never even called (I didn't expect you to)   Now, there's such a lot you've done   And you're only twenty-one (yes, you're only twenty-one)      Oh, there's just something; something I noticed   That there's a whole world out there but it's shrinking fast   You want to take it all and make it last forever   Or maybe just a lifetime      Now you've gone to fly the flag   From some pinprick on the map (won't you ever bring it back)   Tonight, when you hold her in your arms   And you prove that you're a man (oh well, I hope she understands)      Oh, there's just something; something I noticed   That there's a whole world out there but it's shrinking fast   You want to take it all and make it last forever   Or maybe just a lifetime, maybe just a lifetime      And some things just don't ever go away   Some things you know are just here to stay      And in a golden field there is a little girl   Left with a union jack   And there's a price to pay, no matter what you say   There is no going back today      And if we're worlds apart, then I've still got a heart   Can you imagine that?   "Another wasted day", yes I can hear you say   But I'm afraid, it means much more to me than that
