People say that history is always on repeat So why do I feel like this is all new? I cannot foresee what is in front of me I just put one foot in front of the other I hope, I hope it’ll all come floating back I hope, I hope that time won’t fill the gap I'm young, teach me how to talk I'm old, teach me how to walk I'm sure we can make it work if only we try I'm a bird, teach me how to fly I'm a stone, teach me how to cry We can just let time decide, at least for now Over the hill and down through the valley This is where we’re going Figure leaning over me, pouring salt into the sea While I sit just to watch the flowers grow You may come again today, stare at me as if to say Just put one foot in front of the other
