This morning's fading memory

Of seeing kids all running free

And holding all the laughter in my hands

Has slipped like sand between my fingers

The daylight's fading into night

My grasp of truth is not as tight

As when the voice that spoke within my mind

Said "Leave behind today, 'cause there's tomorrow"

But will I find the missing key

That's been hid away from me?

With every minute that passes by

The daylight hours die

And make it hard to see

The moonlight cannot guide me now

'Cause where I walk has been mapped out

The hurdles and the corners have been planned

And my footsteps are replaced by another man's

But will I find the missing key

That's been hid away from me?

With every minute that passes by

The daylight hours die

And make it hard to see

The moonlight cannot guide me now

'Cause where I walk has been mapped out

The hurdles and the corners have been planned

And my footsteps are replaced by another man's
