专辑:《FOREVER IN TIME》

Every life must have a reason
So I thought the story goes
Just holding onto dreams now,
As reality steals the show
Wisdom such an asset,
But it’s gained too late in life
The prize of youth without control
Just the blade but not the knife

The challenge is here,
Don’t say what you fear
What’s over the hill do you know
No longer the child, once where so wild
Wait for the hold man to show

I wake up every morning,
Though I’ve slept through
All of these years
A cog that turns another,
Am I clockwork puppeteer?
The treadmill of surviving
I’m still spinning round and round
The motions I’m use to,
That I need no sight nor sound

The dawn of life, I’ve waited long to see
Now the figure of resentment,
This is not how I thought it would be…….

Can’t you see?

The challenge is here,
Don’t say what you fear
What’s over the hill do you know
No longer the child, once where so wild
Wait for the hold man to show
The truth in the eyes, still wear the disguise
For the wonders you may never see
It’s high time to fear, the final frontier
The face in the crowd is now me

I painted life by numbers,
Every color mixed so true
But how could I paint a rainbow,
When all I saw, it’s was blue
The picture now is drying,
As I wipe dust from the frame
A lifetime’s picture is complete
But the canvas is still so plain
