[Verse 1]
When we're young, we design a plan
We work, we build, we make it real
And in the moment it becomes complete
The first cracks start to appear
A weak foundation finally revealed
In the desperation, when the walls came tumbling down

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, In my prime
Oh, never to return
Oh, as I once was
A broken man living half a life
Without you

[Chorus]
On the path to recovery
With the empires crumbling
I left all dreams abandoned
On the steps of a modern life

[Verse 2]
In defeat we redesign the plan
And we give it just one more chance
As we take another deep breath
And prepare for the worst again
A life in crisis is always threatened by time
For the longer it takes to be restored
The less likely it is to occur
