[Verse 1]
I still remember how it used to be
I thought the only thing that mattered was me
You always told me it was just insane
To feel such joy while others feel pain
And there's no way to change this angry heart
Cause when love goes it will tear you apart

[Chorus]
And it's been this way since time began
It's a desperate search for a promised land
And the years slip by like so much sand

[Verse 2]
So many people who are dying to live
It tortures my heart, they've got so much to give
I never saw it as a battle before
To win the fight, there has to be more
And there's no way to change this angry heart
Cause all these fears will tear you apart

[Chorus]
And it's been this way since time began
It's an endless journey, it's the fate of man
To live each day and never understand
Yes, it's been this way since time began
It's the desperate search for the master plan
And the years slip by like water through your hands
