Lyrics
(1st Verse)
When I was a young boy, I had so much on my mind, thinking of my future and what it is I'd find. Now I'm grown and older and I've learned so much more, nothing is as it ever seems than the way it seemed before.
*(Chorus)
Now I'm trying to understand, how life can be so grand, how everything can change but remain the same.
(2nd Verse)
Everyone has problems that they must face on their own, looking for the answers that they had never known. No one knows the reasons why chaos is in play, why we all must lay to rest at the end of our dying day. *
(Bridge)
In this world made for you and me, we all crash and burn, for that's the way it has to be, live and learn.
(3rd Verse)
Patience is a virtue, so that's what they all say, giving into temptation will not show us the way. We all want to be stronger to fight our own way through, but if we can't win on our own then there's nothing we can do.
(2nd Chorus)
Now I'm trying to understand, how life can be so grand, how everything can change but remain the same. Yeah I'm trying to understand, live and learn. Live and learn!
