When I was a boy
A#/D# D#
all the books I read
G#
I followed like a blind man
to heed the words my father said.

Those golden summers faded into night,
A# D#
words become a dream,
G#
the echoes of my childhood
A#
and where the path is winding.

Oh, may I stand by you always.

Watch the children play,
A#/D# D#
the child becomes a man,
G#
and all the tangled webs we weave,
you swear it as we live and breath.
D# A# D#
We stay together, death until you part.

Winner takes the prize.

The future's at your finger tips,

right before your eyes.
