Older Now

What seemed endless is running out
Hope became suspicion and doubt
Their walls will be higher this time
And harder still to climb
In this age we betray easily
The horizon is darker than it used to be
And in the shadow we fumble
Older now, this world is old
I can’t remember your face at all
Can’t believe how we’ve grown
This is not the world I’ve known
God is dead but who took his place?
Blessed human with a smile on his face
Who’ll deny a stranger that has walked through hell
Ringing funeral bells
Longing back instead of forward
No longer easy to be better than our fathers
And I’m afraid the sadness in your eyes won’t go away
Can I still make you stay
Older now, this world is old
I can’t remember your face at all
Can’t believe how we’ve grown
This is not the world I’ve known
I wouldn’t trust me either, I know
We’re at the point of finally losing control
This might be the last time you will ever fall
Because we’re old
We are old
