I was the last born of a long line A time for change and reckoning Didn’t talk much, but my eyes were wide Just too young to take it inI heard the yelling from the living room Hidden secrets hard to keep I think I held my breath from the age of two Held by my sister till I sleepEasy come and not so easy when it goes How long do we have, I wanna know Like a stream, you watch it flow To the river as it grows, to the oceans’ undertow To the ether’s ever-glow, I don’t knowDidn’t finish school, I guess I got a clue Tried to break me down, bust me in two Not too blind to see what’s right in front of me Too busy chasing down my destinyEasy come and not so easy when it goes How long do we have, I wanna know Like a stream, yea, you watch it come and go To the river as it growsEasy come and not so easy when it goes How long do we have, I gotta know Like a dream, yea, you watch it go To the river as it grows, to the oceans’ undertow To the ether’s ever-glow, I just don’t knowWhere the time and heartaches go And I don’t know, but the road is long and the seeds of life are sownSo I'm the last one of the family Still wide-eyed and wondering They say it’s easy to come but not so easy when it goes How long do we have, I wanna know Like a stream, yea, you watch it flow To the river as it growsEasy come and not so easy when it goes How long do we have, I gotta know Life’s a dream now you see it come and go To the river as it grows, to the oceans’ undertow To the ether’s ever-glow To the river as it grows, to the oceans’ undertow To the ether’s ever-glow, I don’t know I just don’t know I don’t know
