We were young and full of hope then with the big decisions happily postponed If you don't know what you want then you can end up with a lot of things you don't Now they're tearing down the only town we've known Well, the Roman Empire crumbled; they had yet to learn the laws of gravity But the apple that doesn't wish to be eaten will eventually someday fall off the tree Now they're tearing down the forest and here is the open sky Out here there's no place to hide We dreamed of a better life We dreamed of another life At least we could try to try I watched as those planes flew by.
