When I was young, my father would say,   "Time bends its back for no one, my son   And the bright skies, they only fool the men who are blind   So, look through the smile and see what's behind."   Now you left, all my dreams drifted away   I would try to move past but my life's not the same      If I only knew then the things I know now   Then I'd take it all back and I'd turn it around      Cause I have so much to say   And more to give today, yeah   This is no life to live, you gotta give   I have so much to say   And more to give today, yeah   This is no life to live, you gotta give   Must be a better way   Must be a better way      Now, here I sit, in a cage all my own   It's a new life, it's a brand new home   And it's made of steel, it's built out of fear   It's closed up to you and it's part of the deal      If I only knew then the things I know now   Then I'd take it all back and I'd turn it around      Cause I have so much to say   More to give today, yeah   This is no life to live, you gotta give   Cause I have so much to say   More to give today, yeah   This is no life to live, you gotta give   Must be a better way   Must be a better way      Turn back the clock   And put it all back   I'll make the time last      Cause I've got so much to say   And more to give today, yeah   This is no life to live, you gotta give   Cause I have so much to say   And more to give today, yeah   This is no life to live, you gotta give   Must be a better way   Must be a better way      I have so much to say   And more to give today, yeah   This is no life to live, you gotta give   Cause I have so much to say   And more to give today, yeah   This is no life to live, you gotta give   Must be a better way   Must be a better way
