A long time ago in a place not so far away

With the trees and the fields and the lands where I once played

It's true in time it changes, nothing ever stays the same

I fill my lungs with salty air as my skin is changed

And it's true that as time rolls by everything changes

It's true that in time nothing ever stays the same

Once wide-eyed boy full of new ambition

Naïve I called ahead so self-certain of where it would see

It's true in time I've changed as nothing ever stays the same

The sun still rises, I've weathered storms that leave my skin changed

And it's true as time rolls by everything changes

And it's true that in time nothing ever stays the same

It's true that as time rolls by everything changes

It's true that in time nothing ever stays the same

This place has changed so much I barely recognize where I am

Or where I should go or where I should be

A creature myself once so silly

These eyes have changed so much I barely recognize my own reflection

Not who I was or who I should be

I've never quite reached who I wanted to be

This tortured world has changed so much

I barely recognize what we've become

Feel utterly decades old

Lost in time and out of control

I break at my knees and it's sad to behold

Worn down as I begin to unfold

And it's true that as time rolls by everything changes

And it's true that in time nothing ever stays the same

And it's true that as time rolls by everything changes

And it's true that in time nothing ever stays the same
