We're tied to our memories

They won't let us stray

We're not gonna lose ones we made yesterday

We look to our future

And we make all our plans

As if we control what is out of our hands



The world keeps on turning

I'm learning to see

Right where I am is where I have to be

You can't count the pages

All ages hear the call

No matter how hard we try

Life gets away from us all



We start getting older

The moment we live

Look over your shoulder

There's hindsight to give

Come good days and bad days

The sun's gonna rise

So why look beyond what's

In front of your eyes



The world keeps on turning

I'm learning to see

Right where I am is where I have to be

You can't count the pages

All ages hear the call

No matter how hard we try

Life gets away from us all



No matter how hard we try

Life gets away from us all
