I was the last born of a long line
A time for change and reckoning
Didn’t talk much, but my eyes were wide
Just too young to take it in
I heard the yelling from the living room
Hidden secrets hard to keep
I think I held my breath from the age of two
Held by my sister till I sleep
Easy come and not so easy when it goes
How long do we have, I wanna know
Like a stream, you watch it flow
To the river as it grows, to the oceans’ undertow
To the ether’s ever-glow, I don’t know
Didn’t finish school, I guess I got a clue
Tried to break me down, bust me in two
Not too blind to see what’s right in front of me
Too busy chasing down my destiny
Easy come and not so easy when it goes
How long do we have, I wanna know
Like a stream, yea, you watch it come and go
To the river as it grows
Easy come and not so easy when it goes
How long do we have, I gotta know
Like a dream, yea, you watch it go
To the river as it grows, to the oceans’ undertow
To the ether’s ever-glow, I just don’t know
Where the time and heartaches go
And I don’t know, but the road is long and the seeds of life are sown
So I'm the last one of the family
Still wide-eyed and wondering
They say it’s easy to come but not so easy when it goes
How long do we have, I wanna know
Like a stream, yea, you watch it flow
To the river as it grows
Easy come and not so easy when it goes
How long do we have, I gotta know
Life’s a dream now you see it come and go
To the river as it grows, to the oceans’ undertow
To the ether’s ever-glow
To the river as it grows, to the oceans’ undertow
To the ether’s ever-glow, I don’t know
I just don’t know
I don’t know
