Edit By: 216.73.216.5

(Verse 1)
Truth, with all its far out schemes,
Lets time decide what it should mean;
It ain't the time but just the dreams that die.
And sometimes when the room is still,
Time with so much truth to kill,
Leaves you by the window sill so tied
Without a wing, I take you high,
Without a clue I tell you why.
Now, I just want to keep my name, not bother anybody's game
Without ideas of gold or fame or insane heights.
I don't want a lot of money, I don't want a Playboy Bunny,
Just a love to call me honey late at night,
In my arms, by my side, in my arms late at night.
(Chorus)
But I don't know, I ain't been told,
Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.
They're so afraid of being old,
So scared of dying, so unknown
And so alone,we're rollin' home.
(Verse 2)
There's nothing big I want to prove,
No mountains that I need to move,
Or even claim what's right or true for you.
My sights, my songs are slightly charred,
You might feel they miss their mark,
But things are only what they are and nothing new
But for me, I know they'll do,
But for me, I know they'll do.
Well if you care what people think,
Like they supplied some missing link;
They'll just stand back and watch you sink so slow.
They'll never help you to decide,
They'll only take you on a ride,
After which they'll try and hide the fact that they don't know
What you should do, where you should go,
What you should do, where you should go.
(Chorus)
But I don't know, I ain't been told,
Everyone is so alone,
Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.
They're so afraid of being old,
They're scared of dying, so unknown
And so alone,we're rollin' home.
(Verse 3)
I can't claim I know my Father
I've been lookin' for my brother
And I end up just another one
Fantasies and prophesies fill me head like fallin leaves
Well underneath I don't believe one
I want to do what's been done
You can try hide he can run
Well, I can see a king and queen, a beggar falling at my feet;
They all must see the same sad dreams at night;
Futility and senseless war, pit the rich against the poor,
While cause is buried long before the fight
For what was wrong, for what was right,
It's just the strong, who ever says what's right.
(Chorus)
But I don't know, I ain't been told,
Everyone is so alone,
Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.
They're so afraid of being old,
They're scared of dying, so unknown
And so alone,we're rollin' home.
