Lately I've been thinking about the way my life is going and all the things I used to know, I don't seem to be a knowin' All the knowledge in the world has now been handed down and is firmly in the grasp of every 18 yr old in town and they are immortal...for now. I too was once like they are until I tried to touch the sun Now all the miles and heat and light have made my colors run There are no clear drawn lines except for the ones upon my face Now I wake to find that time and I are in a dead heat in this race and I'm not immortal anymore Oh for fields to run through and wings to fly Oh if I could feel just one more day like I'm never gonna die, like I'm never gonna die But I'm not immortal anymore.
