Sometimes you must climb
Very far to see how far you’ve fallen
Don’t scream for your dreams
If you close your mouth, you’ll hear them callin’

Mankind in my mind
Is a loving thing with few exceptions
Each face is a place
Good or evil it’s just your perception

There is no rock worth living under
For the whole world is full of wonder
For those who want to live a life of gold
Time may pass by, we may be aging
This may all be a play we’re staging
We may turn gray, but we’ll never grow old

That love from above
May be real or not, but don’t **** for it
Don’t fight for the light
If you **** for love, then you abhor it

There is no rock worth living under
For the whole world is full of wonder
For those who want to live a life of gold
Time may pass by, we may be aging
This may all be a play we’re staging
We may turn gray, but we’ll never grow old
If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I love The Beatles. Always have and always will. But when my friend reminded me that he had to CONVINCE me to play a Beatles song at our first (and only) gig, the first line of this song popped into my head. It may not seem like a big deal, and really it isn't, but it certainly felt like one to me. To make up for this folly, I took a rhyme that I've only heard in a Beatles song (an alternate version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps) and put it in the chorus.
