| What seemed endless is running out
|
| Hope became suspicion and doubt
|
| Their walls will be higher this time
|
| And harder still to climb
|
| In this age we betray easily
|
| The horizon is darker than it used to be
|
| And in the shadow we fumble
|
| Older now, this world is old
|
| I can’t remember your face at all
|
| Can’t believe how we’ve grown
|
| This is not the world I’ve known
|
| God is dead but who took his place?
|
| Blessed human with a smile on his face
|
| Who’ll deny a stranger that has walked through hell
|
| Ringing funeral bells
|
| Longing back instead of forward
|
| No longer easy to be better than our fathers
|
| And I’m afraid the sadness in your eyes won’t go away
|
| Can I still make you stay
|
| Older now, this world is old
|
| I can’t remember your face at all
|
| Can’t believe how we’ve grown
|
| This is not the world I’ve known
|
| I wouldn’t trust me either, I know
|
| We’re at the point of finally losing control
|
| This might be the last time you will ever fall
|
| Because we’re old
|
| We are old |
