So many years behind
How can they go so fast
Watching the dangers safely
Slipping past

Somebody raised the bar
Time can?t stand still
For woman or man
We move along
And do the best we can

When all your meetings have been met
And the last crimson of the sun
Has clearly set
Our hearts might feel like they hold the sky
But we better let those troubles pass on by

With all our worries laid to rest
And all our courage rising up, to pass the test
Our hearts might feel like they hold the sky
But we better let those troubles pass on by
Yes, we better let those troubles pass on by.
