for when I fool the people I fear I fool myself as well.

We built a tall, tall tower
Towards the sun, towards the sun
Took some words and built a wall
And called it love, called it love

And somewhere in all the talking
The meaning faded out

Oh, I wonder
When did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back again?
Can we ever go back?

You're speaking a dead, dead language
You don't sound like yourself
I hope its just lost in translation
So why don't you show? Don't try to tell

And brick by brick we started crumbling
Will I find you when it falls?

Oh, I wonder
When did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back?

Don't hold your breath
Look around
Try to add it up
Pin it down
But you can't

Oh, I wonder
When did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back again?
Can we ever go back?

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby.

In this world there's a whole lot of pain

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble

But a whole lot of ground to gain

Why take when you could be giving?

Why watch as the world goes by?

It's a long enough life to be living

Why walk when you can fly?

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow

In this world there's a whole lot of shame

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow

But a whole lot of ground to gain

When you spend your whole life wishing

Watching and wondering why

It's a hard enough life to be living

Why walk when you can fly?

In this world there's a whole lot of golden

In this world there's a whole lot of plain

In this world you've a soul for a compass

And a heart for a pair of wings

There's a star on the far horizon

Rising bright in an azure sky

But with the rest of the time you've been given

Why walk when you can fly.
