I can't invest my time
I've tried it all and I'm tired of trying
You think you got it all figured out
and everything you think it's about
when you found yourself finally released
you hit the ground and kept running east
and now it's all catching up to you
as these things usually do
saw it all and I can't deny
it's a hard life living a lie
If it feels good do it even if you shouldn't
don't let people mess you around
feels go do it even if you shouldn't
nobody can mess you around
saw it all and I can't deny
it's a hard life living a lie
you're running away
things would have been different
if you decided to stay
you can't wear you heart on your sleeve
if you're just going to leave
I can't invest my time
I've tried it all and I'm tired of trying
saw it all and I can't deny
it's a hard life living a lieIn fields of green, vast as the oceans
Is this a dream, is it evermore?
A million years, fast as a notion
I stand alone here on the silent shore
I'm after prey in the fields
Shelter in a cave from the cold and lonely nights
And now it all seems so real
warming at the fireside beneath the pale moonlight
This is the dawn of time
I am the first to stand
Looking through the eyes of the primal man
This is the dawn of time
Witnessing the birth
I am the first man on earth
The skies of blue reach to the heavens
They go on and on forevermore
No avenues, no city sidewalks
Planet Mars is but ancient lore
This place has all that I need
No computers glowing screens, no industrial machines
Somehow it all seems surreal
Memories of days gone by, a slowly fading scene
This is the dawn of time
I am the first to stand
Looking through the eyes of the primal man
This is the dawn of time
Witnessing the birth
I am the first man on earth
No one here to blame me
No one here to hurt
So much space here to occupy my mind
I can breathe the breath of virgin land
The firefly at nighttime
The sounds of nothing known
And I belong here like I never have before
The wandering child returning home
When twilight falls, red is the sunset
Planets appear across the colored sky
No prison walls, no war, no bloodshed
Hard to believe this new world will die
I wish that I could stay for a while
In the dream world that the sequencer creates
And though it all seems so real
Now I fear the time is gone, I feel its heavy weight
This is the dawn of time
I am the first to stand
Looking through the eyes of the primal man
This is the dawn of time
Witnessing the birth
I am the first man on earth
Hold on to this moment in time (Hold on)
Savor a life how it used to be (Savior this
