When I am in pain I float away to another time

and see all of the loved ones we have left behind.

When I am alone I float away

and see life as it should be on another day.

I’ve gone into the future, and back into the past,

and saw everything that did and did not last.

I’ve seen love, life, pain and war.

I’ve heard people ask “What’s life for?”

I’ve seen all of the hate, and I’ve seen all of the truth.

I’ve seen the desecration of today’s youth.

I’ve seen times of new, and I’ve seen times of old.

I’ve seen, possible, the greatest of generations being left out in the cold.

I’ve seen times of mine, and I’ve seen times of yours.

I’ve see it all and I still can’t tell you what life is for.
