And oh, as I fade away,
They'll all come at me and say,
And they'll say, Hey look at him!
I'll never live that way
But that's ok, they're just afraid to change

When you feel your life ain't worth livin'
You got to stand up and take a look around you
Then a look, way up to the sky
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
Keep on dreamin' boy
'Cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die

And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
Some ways will work and other ways we'll play
But I know we can't all stay here forever
So I want to write my words on the face of today
And then they'll paint it

And oh as I fade away
They'll all look at me and say
Hey look at him and where he is these days
When life is hard, you have to change
