Well you're truckin' along tryin' to figure out life when you know that you can't
So how much can you really understand
The waves of time come crashing down on the shores of your life
You realize you are but one grain of sand
Well what makes people be what they are and do what they do
And what does the future hold for me and you
If there were thirty six hours in each day would you accomplish more
Or would everything just always be the same
And if you could stay young all your life would yo open a new door
Or would you always be doing something lame
Well what makes people be what they are and do what they do
And what does the future hold for me and you
Well you're truckin' along tryin' to figure out life when you know that you can't
So how much can you really understand
The waves of time come crashing down on the shores of your life
You realize you are but one grain of sand
Well what makes people be what they are and do what they do
And what does the future hold for me and you
