Once the future was so bright, or was that just a trick of the light Once the prize was worth the fight, one more trick of the light Another road, another mile, we live with what we become Everything is only for awhile, and there's still so much to be done One more day, one more year, one more worry, one more fear One more grain of sand on the shore, The answers aren't so easy anymore The doors, they close without a sound, you won't know what it's worth 'till it's gone You can't go back or turn around, you make your peace and you move on One minute young and strong, next almost done, almost gone We live somewhere between right and wrong, we do what we do to get along Once the future was so bright, or was that just a trick of the light Once the prize was worth the fight, one more trick of the light
