I used to wear a long skirt in the summer time

Dancin' around real slow in the sunshine

Barefeet dirty, long hair flowin'

Feelin' carefree and not knowin' why

I'm just happy to be alive

I'm livin' in this time and place

Every day thinkin' hard about the human race

And why we do the things we do

Would it be like this if it was up to you?

Round trip and you're back where you started

Waiting at the station from which you departed

You touch down and you walk through the gate and

You look up and you notice the date and

There isn't anybody left to blame

It's all different but it's still the same

You and I will crawl up and die

All we can do is try

To speak for the people who haven't any voices

And feel for the women who haven't any choices

Downtown used to be a lot taller

Now the whole world just seems a lot smaller

One day and suddenly

You know it's not just a place that's on tv

So surprising rhyme why we can't rewind

Can't turn the clock back oh my gosh

All wounds don't heal with time

All stains don't come out in the wash

We don't seem to learn from our history

How could war lead to peopale feelin' free?

Is there a way to protect ourselves from ourselves?

And the fears we hide inside

We gotta delve down deep into our hearts and minds

Give more thought to the feelings that we find

Round trip and you're back where you started

Standing on the platfrom from which you departed

I know the reason you said what you said and

What's the reason you did what you did and

I know you tried to forget me

I would do the same if my body would let me

But I love you now like i did back then

Life is real short, regrets are real long

I'm making my choice just writing this song

Can you do what you love, can you love what you do?

And nobody designs you life for you

I walk a path of resistance you haven't tried yet

Connect, accept, forgive, forget

With every single breath you will dissolve yourself

Your birth, your name, your deeds, your death

I'll meet you in the last car of the train

My ears still ringin' from these songs of pain

And you know me now like you knew me then

And it's all the same

It's all the same (5X)

We don't seem to learn from our history

All this time and we're still not feelin' free

Is there a way to connect ourselves with ourselves?

And the hope that hides inside

We gotta delve deep into what we find

And take time to hear the story from both sides

Round trip and you're back where you started

Waiting at the station from which you departed

The sun sets and it's getting late and

You sit back and you live in your fate and

There isn't anybody left to blame

It's all different but it's still the same

Life is real short, regrets are real long

I'm making my choice just writing this song

Can you do what you love, can you love what you do?

And nobody designs you life for you

I walk a path of resistance you haven't tried yet

Connect, accept, forgive, forget

With every single breath you will dissolve yourself

Your birth, your name, your deeds, your death
