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