Lyrics
Here we are
Does it seem so far for our hearts
to rest on a distant star?
It's been 10 short years and not a day goes by
where I wonder what has passed me by
The words that we say never to take away
the chance we had to seize the day
It's been 20 long years and not a day goes by
where I wonder what has passed me by
We lie, we cry, we sigh, we die
Took a chance
Went off to face the lance
With my life in my hands I made an advance
You put all you adore on the killing floor
It will yield even more than before
Through this life we are led
Cradle to grave we are bred
Wake at daybreak and time for bed
Why don't we live instead?
