lyrics

When the night comes rollin' down the sky,
I see the questions in your eye,
We wonder what will come in times like these,
But I don't believe the Crystal Ball,
I’m listening for a different call,
While all the world is clamoring for peace

And you can feel the weight the seasons bear,
it's all around us everywhere,
Tracing our movement through the years

For the Song we sang isn't heard anymore,
We've forgotten it's name
But the melody still lingers in our hearts,
So we're pushin' on, and we're not looking'back,
And we don't mind the pain,
Cause' a man can never lose what he can't attain

Can anyone remember when,
The boys were boys and men were men,
And everyone believed we'd all pull through,
But the changes came and chilled the air,
Our Heroes are no longer there,
The ones who stand against the tide are few

And you can feel the weight the seasons bear,
it's all around us everywhere,
Tracing our movement through the years

Now the years will steal away our youth,
A lie can change, but not the truth,
It's slipping through our fingers even now
It's a sorrow we don't need to share,
A burden we don't have to bear,
The melody still lingers in my ears

Cause the Song we sing, is alive again,
And it's always the same
It's the melody that was living in our hearts
So we're pushin' on, and we're not looking' back,
And we don't mind the pain,
Cause' a man can never lose what he can't attain
