I been desperately hopin'
For a path of my own
Oh how I'd grow
Now I long for a sunrise
Meant for me and myself
But time will tell
When I'm old I'll have the sun
Say goodbye to where I'm from
Desperately hoping for somethin' to do
For a purpose in life while I'm travelin' through
'Cause the earth, my friend
I'll soon be yours again
I been quietly watchin'
Jealous of birds in the sky
I can't deny
I heard whispers before me
How it's too late to fly
It's passin' by
When I'm old I'll have a cloud
Free to roam from solid ground
Desperately hoping for somethin' to do
For a purpose in life while I'm travelin' through
'Cause the earth, my friend
I'll soon be yours again
Shadows creep from the graveyard
Reaching for me and my soul
The sun is low
Have I done what I wanted?
Have I turned every stone?
There's more to know
Now I'm old, I want the moon
Tell me, must I leave so soon?
Desperately hoping for somethin' to do
For a purpose in life while I'm travelin' through
'Cause the earth, my friend
I'll soon be yours again
