I once asked a wise man to show me the way
He said life's like a song
Gets written each day
It's better to listen
Then choose how to play
So sit back and choose wisely what you'd like to say
Now stand up young man
Tell me what you see
One million faces one million dreams
Each one the same but each one unique
To think yours is more worthy seems selfish to me
Burning them bridges tearing down the walls
What friend will you have when you haven't one at all
It's your life to choose
It's your life to save
Old bones get buried and lost in the grave
Now listen young man
Tell me what you hear
One million waves crashing as a storm chasers near
Two hearts growing distant to see from a far
They're lost in confusion as their worlds fall apart
Burning them bridges tearing down the walls
What friend will you have if you haven't one at all
It's your life to choose
It's your life to save
Old bones get buried and lost in the grave
Now show me young man
Show me what you've learned
That trust is precious
It's something that's earned
All knowledge and power well it won't answer why
All fortune and fame well it won't make you well
My love is endless an endless supply
And my love for you
Will never die
Never die
Burning them bridges tearing down the walls
What friend will you have when you haven't one at all
It's your life to choose
It's your life to save
Old bones get buried
Old bones get buried
And lost in the grave
