lyrics

Walking on this high road
each second a hard step.
Looking out, around me
my head dripping sweat.
Fingers feel my pockets
for charms or loose thread.
Only automatic
thoughts fill my head.

Think. Think. Think for yourself.
Once mighty trees brought down by the wind.
Think. Think. Think for yourself.
These words in my ear that my daddy once said.

Once I was a young man
I didn't understand.
I took it all for granted
lovers, life, and friends.
I let us slip away child
never thinking of the end.
I let you slip away time
I want it back again.

Think. Think. Think for yourself
while your body and mind can further roam.
Think. Think. Think for yourself.
The old man leads the young man home.
