I have to say the world has changed,
Since I was twelve years old.
For now I've got travel marks, scars,
And the best of stories to be told.
My feet have become the wheels,
That bring me on the ride of my life.
But somehow there's no reverse,
No brake, no end to strife.
I can't go back, I cannot stop,
This vehicle needs a change.
For ofttimes my heart beats fast,
And sometimes it's quite strange.
Even when I sleep at night,
Rest my weary head,
I know I'm in a constant line,
Straight to the land of dead.
So I'll live my life as I see fit,
Never again be told.
For I've read my story once before,
In the stories of old.

And the best of stories to be told.

That bring me on the ride of my life.
But somehow there's no reverse,
No brake, no end to strife.
I can't go back, I cannot stop,
This vehicle needs a change.
For ofttimes my heart beats fast,
And sometimes it's quite strange.
Even when I sleep at night,
Rest my weary head,
I know I'm in a constant line,
Straight to the land of dead.
So I'll live my life as I see fit,
Never again be told.
For I've read my story once before,
In the stories of old.
