When I was a young boy,

Advice I would scorn,
Now I'm getting a little
older,
I know I gotta lot to
learn.

Yesterday's illusions

Are tomorrow's smiles.

I look back and laugh,

Baby sometimes in a
while.

And it always seems the
same,
And who knows what's to
blame,
If I knew then what I know
now,
The mistakes I wouldn't
have made.

But you can't get a sneak
preview
Of a what you're gonna go
thru,
And you have to rely on your
body and mind
To save you life from
shame.

Life's the same but time
does change
Respective of your
view.
You're lookin' for the
mystery,
But you can't find a
clue.

Some say a man makes his
life,
Some say that it's
fate,
But when you find out what
to do,
Oh sometimes it's too
late.

And it always seems the
same,
And who knows what's to
blame,
If I knew then what I know
now,
The mistakes I wouldn't
have made.

But you can't get a sneak
preview
Of a what you're gonna go
thru,
and you have to rely on your
body and mind
To save you life from
shame.

Life's the same but time
does change
Respective of your
view.
You're lookin' for the
mystery,
Oh you can't find a
clue.

Some say a man makes his
life,
Some say that it's
fate,
But when you find out what
to do,
Oh sometimes it's too
late.
