I still remember how it used to be
I thought the only thing that mattered was me

You always told me it was just insane
To feel such joy while others feel pain
And there's no way to change this angry heart
Cause when love goes it will tear you apart

And it's been this way since time began
It's a desperate search for a promised land
And the years slip by like so much sand

So many people who are dying to live
It tortures my heart they've got so much to give

I never saw it as a battle before
To win the fight there has to be more

And there's no way to change this angry heart
Cause all these fears will tear you apart

And it's been this way since time began
It's a needless journey, it's the fate of man
To live each day and never understand

Yes it's been this way since time began
It's a desperate search for a master plan
And the years slip by like water through your hands
