When I try to walk on water And try to follow the steps of my father It's so easy to forget the lessons I have learned Should we listen to the children? Take a look at what we're building It's so easy to destroy the world in which we live It keeps me up late at night when I'm staring at the ceiling Deconstructing everything that I believe in Trying to hold on to these fading memories Today is not the same as it was when I was younger Is that a storm on its way? I hear thunder Wake me up before I slip into a dream Have we tried to walk on water? Are you sinking as it gets harder? It's so easy to believe when you're watching your TV We should listen to the children Try to feel what they are feeling It's so easy to destroy this world in which we live Growing old, late at night, when I'm staring at the ceiling Trying to remember everything that I believe in Should I stop creating brand new memories? Today is not the same as it was when I was younger The world is burning down and we're slipping under Who will save us and try to set the people free When we try to walk on water And try to follow the steps of our fathers It's so easy to forget the lessons we have learned
