I got a big show with the boys in the band
Gonna sing our hearts out tonight
The opening number is a true life story
With a moral of a different kind
It's written about my early years
And all the things that they meant to me
Well, ain't it kind of funny how the days go by
When you looking for a memory
The world can change right with the blink of an eye
What lives today could see tomorrow die
I'm waiting (I'm waiting) so please explain
Why nothing seems to be the same these days
I've seen what's new come walking in
And I've seen it walk out the door
I've listened to the voice of a generation
Saying hey, we want some more
You're holding your life in the palm of your hand
Don't let it slip down to the ground
It's up to you if you know what to do
Better take a good look around
The world can change right with the blink of an eye
What lives today could see tomorrow die
I'm waiting (I'm waiting) so please explain
Why nothing seems to be the same these days
The world can change right with the blink of an eye
What lives today could see tomorrow die
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
All of us live the life we choose
And we've got one chance to prove it
Anything goes in a material world
And we're given one chance to prove it
You're holding your life in the palm of your hand
Son't let it slip down to the ground
It's up to you if you know what to do
Better take a good look around
The world can change right with the blink of an eye
What lives today could see tomorrow die
I'm waiting (I'm waiting) so please explain
Why nothing seems to be the same these days
The world can change
I'm waiting (I'm waiting) I'm waiting
Why nothing seems to be the same these days
