lyrics

I thought I'd see rain falling from the sky
turning into truth as it hit my eye
I thought I'd see lights, shimmering like gold
I thought I was the one
now that thought is gone
I thought that I was wise, but I'm just getting old

I thought I'd hear the voice of mother earth
giving me the answer I lost track of after birth
I thought that this surmise, was something to uphold
It's all just blood and steel
at least I know how that feels
I thought that I was wise, but I'm just getting old

I thought that I'd hear the song of ancient stars
flowing through the universe, from where ever they are
I really thought that it was I, who'd tell what's still untold
I thought I'd be more
than I was before
I thought that I was wise, but I'm just getting old

I think I'll stop before it gets out of hand
I think I'll stop, before I fully understand
I think I'll stop telling lies, stop trying to control
I've had more than I can bare
and I'm not nearly there
I thought that I was wise, but I'm just getting old
