what?
so you think you know
cuz you've seen me once
did you seen something
that will never change
maybe you don't know
that there's always change
and if you don't think so
the only thing that doesn't change
is the thought in your brain
you decide

sometimes my heart beats soft
sometimes my heart beats hard
it could be just a look
or the turn of a card
if I reach for extremes
if I reach for the truth
it could be my dreams
it could be my youth
I decide

when I was still bare
a body without hair
I sometimes felt old
so old, so cold
how I feel didn't depend
on how long I'd been there
and I realized the mind
creates what we find here
you decide

when I'm old and grey
a body bent and tired
I will still feel young
sometimes very wild
how I feel will not depend
on how long I'm alive
for I can use my mind
to do more than survive
I decide


so you think you know
something about me
tell what can you tell
based on what you see
maybe you are right
maybe you are wrong
we'll decide in our minds
how to write our song
we decide

sometimes this life seems kind
sometimes this life seems mean
it could be just a moment
if I reach for extremes
if I reach for the truth
would you reach with me
or have you bought the fear
and lost reality
you decide

when you were still bare
a body without hair
you sometimes felt old
or hot or cold
how you felt didn't depend
on how long you'd been there
will you realize your mind
creates what you find here
you decide

when you're old and grey
a body bent and tired
will you still feel young
or will you be cross-wired
how you feel will not depend
on how long you're alive
for you can use my mind
to do more than survive
you decide


so tell me what you know
and tell me what you feel
this moment in time
what do you make real
tell me how it goes
in your heart and mind
are you young or old
are you mean or kind
is life young or old
is life mean or kind
you decide
