All through life
Something is waiting by the door
All hearts are stained
And in thinking of what's in store

Thinking in the past
Of something to last

All of my youth
Steel factories, pride and grace
All darkened over
Seen in old scars on the elders face

Thinking of the past
Of something to last

Of what's in the gloom
Stands a flicker of light
Old memorials
Past dreams that come to light
Of what was meant to be
Another finds the key

So many places
I hav'nt been to, I want to see
Many dark ghettos
All the past dreams of what to be

Thinking in the past
Of something to last
