After all these years
It feels like some days that the sun never shines
Some held the world and the others couldn't stay
One sold something that he never could replace
One hits the bottle till his problems go away
One got addicted and the other ran away

(After all these years)
The other never made it home from school that day

After all these years
Some hold the world and the others couldn't stay
After all these years
One look back at the past and I'm finally here
(After all these years)
One found religion and the other lost faith
One sold something that he never could replace
(After all these years)
And I just can't take this anymore
They're going down in flames, they're burning alive
One found religion and the other lost faith
Both looked back to see if the coast was clear

One got the money that the other put away
A few just follow their dreams while the others stood clear
Both looked back to see if the coast was clear
Sometimes I wish I could just disappear
After all these years
One lets go the wheel while the other one steers
I can't decipher all these riddles and rhymes

One lets go the wheel while the other one steers
(After all these years)
