Something I’m Missing

Child

Is there something

I've done wrong in growing old?

What do you see when you look to me?

I'm not who you thought

I was not anymore

But a man with a familiar face that you've seen

I don't need you like

I once did

Our places switched

It's not a burden to me

My ear to the earth

Is there something I'm missing?

For what it is worth

I'll promise you that I'm listening

Sight and the light in the air waves allow an existence

That we all take for granted

How many years do you have left

If not your body, then your mind will fade

It hurts to accept

It hurts to accept that

I'll look back with regret

How many years do you have left

Hard to admit that your body is fading

When you don't even know my name

My ear to the earth

Is there something I'm missing?

For what it is worth

I'll promise you that I'm listening

Sight and the light in the air waves allow an existence

That we all take for granted

An image they've planted in our heads

Child

Is there something I've done wrong in growing old?

What do you see when you look to me?

My ear to the earth

Is there something I'm missing? (something I'm missing?)

For what it is worth

I'll promise you that I'm listening

Sight and the light in the air waves allow an existence

That we all take for granted

An image they've planted in our heads

My ear to the earth

Is there something I'm missing?

For what it is worth

I'll promise you that I'm listening

Sight and the light in the air waves allow an existence

That we all take for granted

An image they've planted in our heads
