lyrics

miles away, years ago
a star was born, a shift was felt
now i'm thinking to myself
is that where these ideas came from
is that where these ideas come from
as i look around this busy world
at the glue that holds it together
why is the hope we have always got to be
the tiniest of flickering flames
oh to be young again
i hear the old folks say
well where did all the time go
well i worked it all way
and a life out of control
a truth you cannot tell
burns hotter than the moment
longer than the eternal

does a beast rule this world
wielding power and control
telling us that we can't hold
our own children in our arms
of all the riddles i can see
the eternal's got to be the biggest
but to blast yourself off to that ring
means letting go of everything
then you'll outlast the mountains
falling into the sea
or the galaxies collapsing
but essentially cease to be
when a life out of control
a truth you cannot tell
burns hotter than the moment
longer than the eternal
