In youthful days we set the course
Not knowing how the road would wind
Our thoughts implied with so much force
That we didn't realize we fell behind
But we fell behind

Talent seemed to overflow
There was no place we couldn't go
To us our dreams seemed good as done
But you cannot do what has not been begun
What has not been begun?

The life you had in mind
Is gonna come back in style
All babies are born blind
But only for a little while

From too much love our hearts implode
Strangled by life's heavy load
Our dreams float up beyond our reach
As we drag our sandy boats along the beach
We're on the beach

The life you had in mind
Is gonna come back in style
All babies are born blind
But only for a little while
A little while
