Hello my old friend here we are again
Searching in the mirror in vain
Once a boy with fire bright
Now an old man with a distant sight
Your road stretched long your road ran wide
Mountains rose and waves replied
You swore you'd carve the world anew
But time carved deeper into you
Oh the echoes of a young man's heart
They rise they fall they break apart
The stars once whispered bold and grand
Now they fade like grains of sand
You left your home you burned the past
Swore the world would turn at last
But cities call then turn away
Dreams get washed away in rain
Lovers came and lovers went
Words like rivers passion spent
The fire dimmed the echoes died
Yet somehow peace stood by your side
Oh the echoes of a young man's heart
They rise they fall they break apart
The stars once whispered bold and grand
Now they fade like grains of sand
No crown of gold no lasting fame
Just a weathered soul just a borrowed name
Yet morning comes and light still shows
Through every crack where wisdom grows
Oh the echoes of a young man's fight
They burn they ache then fade to light
And though the road did twist and bend
It led you home my old old friend
