Across The Land

We're born wild and free

And everything seems to make sense

But the trouble starts

As soon as man tries to make amends

From times of hardship to times of bliss

We ponder over the same old questions

Until we understand life is...

A way that twists and turns

The fire that always burns

It's the riddle no one solves

Around which the world revolves

It's an endless walk uphill

Until fear submits to will

It's our plans gone out of hand

A wild flight across the land

It's a rapid journey

And wherever it may lead

We're all just passengers

That don't know who's in the driver's seat

From times of hardship to times of bliss

We ponder over the same old questions

Until we understand life is...

A way that twists and turns

The fire that always burns

It's the riddle no one solves

Around which the world revolves

It's an endless walk uphill

Until fear submits to will

It's our plans gone out of hand

A wild flight across the land

I read all those good books, that claim to hold the key

But at last they all just made no sense to me

Behind walls of science, moral, faith or spirituality

No matter where you hide life catches up with you eventually

It's the twinkle in her eye

A train that passed you by

It's the love you left behind

And the sense you could not find

A system overload

A path that leads abroad

It's a chance you did not use

The hand that you refused

A way that twists and turns...
