Lyrics

Some people don't know how to start
They um and ah, twiddling thumbs
Others, they don't know how to stop
They rush through life til their death comes

But I've been told
We come from the stars
Skin and bone
Blood, guts and all the organs

In time you'll remember what it was to be a child
You know life never dies
It's such a nice surprise
Son, one day you'll know

Some people don't know how to laugh
They mope around complaining
Others, they don't know how to cry
No notion of emotion, no tears to dry

But I've been told
We come from the stars
Skin and bone
Blood, guts and all the organs

In time you'll remember what it was to be a child
You know life never dies
It's such a nice surprise
Ah, one day you'll know

Now they try to frighten me to take away my dignity
They play the game, they act the same, behaving the wrong way
Something about the clothes I wear and my messy dirty hair
Delays the mind betrays the time
They're going the wrong way

Though we're monitored we do our best
To make it seem like we're old, at rest
When really we're fighting free
Trying to steer clear of their misery

This is the happiest moment that I ever had
On the saddest day of my life
They might label me insane
But I know who I am
I am who I am

Out came the last turn of the page
The book is rewritten every day
Wider wavelengths of the mind
That play within
Go ahead now and win
Warmth from your heart
Give,
Smooth your jagged doorways

In time you'll remember
What it was to be a child
You know life never dies
It's such a nice surprise
Ah, one day you'll know

Some people don't know how to stop.
