When life is hard, you have to change
Keep on dreaming boy, 'cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die
Ah, when you feel life ain't worth living
"Hey, look at him and where he is these days"
They'll all look at me and say and they'll say
But I know we can't all stay here forever, oh
You look up way to the sky
So I want to write my words on the face of today
Hey and when your deepest thoughts are broken
They'll all look at me and say, they'll say
I don't think I'll ever no long' seen the sun from here
And that's okay, they're just afraid to change
Some ways we'll work, in other ways we'll play, yeah, yeah
And, oh, as I fade away
"Hey, look at him", I'll never live that way
And as we all play parts of tomorrow, oh, no, no
And, oh, as I fade away, yeah
And then they'll paint it up
As I sit here in this misery
You've got to stand up and take a look around
