Every night I dream the same dream
  Of getting older all the time
  I ask you now, what does this mean?
  Are these problems just in my mind?
  Things are easy when you're a child
  But now these pressures have dropped on my head
  The length I've gone are just long miles
  Would they be shorter if I were dead
    Every time I look in my past
  I always wish I was there
  I wish my youth would forever last
  Why are these times so unfair
    Look at my friends and see what they've done
  Ask myself why they had to change
  I like them better when they were young
  Now all these times are rearranged
  I look down and stand there and cry
  Nothing ever will be the same
  The sun is rising, now I ask why?
  The clouds now fall and here comes the rain
    Every time I look in my past
  I always wish I was there
  I wish my youth would forever last
  Why are these times so unfair
    Every night I dream the same dream
  Of getting older all the time
  I ask you now, what does this mean?
  Are these problems just in my mind?
  Things are easy when you're a child
  But now these pressures have dropped on my head
  The length I've gone are just long miles
  Would they be shorter if I were dead
    Every time I look in my past
  I always wish I was there
  I wish my youth would forever last
  Why are these times so unfair
