Who is this wounded animal
Looks like a washed up rusted bucket of a man
His eyes are cold
His skin is old
And God knows he's seen better days
Hey son don't you mock the road I ran
I followed dreams long since past
One day you'll be in this place too
Though you'll never walk in my shoes
I feel a shadow over me
The stealthy presence of ticking time
It moves so slow
As it takes control
Slowly stealing my youth from me
Hey son don't you mock the road I ran
I followed dreams long since past
One day you'll be in this place too
Though you'll never walk in my shoes
One day I'll fly away, fly away from your view
And one day you'll fly away, fly away from here too
Who is this wounded animal
Staring back at me, from my mirror
His eyes are cold
His skin is old
And God knows he's seen better days
Hey son don't you mock the road I ran
I followed dreams long since past
One day you'll be in this place too
Though you'll never walk in my shoes
One day I'll fly away, fly away from your view
And one day you'll fly away, fly away from here too
One day I'll fly away, fly away from your view
One day we'll fly away, and become new
