When I try to walk on water 
And try to follow the steps of my father 
ItÂ’s so easy to forget 
The lessons that I learned 
Should we listen to the children 
Take a look at what weÂ’re building 
ItÂ’s so easy to destroy 
The world in which we live 

It keeps me up late at night 
When IÂ’m staring at the ceiling  [bad word] everything that I believe in 
Trying to hold on to these faded memories 
Today is not the same as it was when I was younger 
Is that a storm on its way I hear thunder 
Wake me up before I slip into a dream 

Have you tried to walk on water 
Are you sinking as it gets harder 
ItÂ’s so easy to believe 
When youÂ’re watching your TV 
We should listen to the children 
Try to feel what they are feeling 
ItÂ’s so easy to destroy 
This world in which we live 

Growing old late at night 
When IÂ’m staring at the ceiling 
Trying to remember everything I believe in 
Should I stop creating brand new memories 
Today is not the same as it was when I was younger 
The world is burning down and weÂ’re slipping under 
Who will save us and try to set the people free 

When we try to walk on water 
And try to follow the steps of our fathers 
Its so easy to forget the lessons we have learned
