After all these years
Some held the world and the others couldn't stay
(After all these years)
One lets go the wheel while the other one steers
I can't decipher all these riddles and rhymes
A few just follow their dreams while the others stood clear
One look back at the past and I'm finally here
After all these years
The other never made it home from school that day
After all these years

Sometimes I wish I could just disappear
One got addicted and the other ran away
One sold something that he never could replace
Some settle down a familiar place

(After all these years)
Both looked back to see if the coast was clear
And I just can't take this anymore
They're going down in flames, they're burning alive
One got the money that the other put away
One got addicted and the other ran away
One sold something that he never could replace
One lets go the wheel while the other one steers
It feels like some days that the sun never shines
Some hold the world and the others couldn't stay
(After all these years)
After all these years
One found religion and the other lost faith
One found religion and the other lost faith
(After all these years)
One hits the bottle till his problems go away
Both looked back to see if the coast was clear
