A boy lives in his early dreams
A roofless tomb, a fearless song
He don't know a thing to keep him faithful
But faith alone can get you by
But slowly, day-by-day
That blissful sleep, it wears away
And he must steal a dream to keep him faithful
'Cause dreams alone can get you by
'Cause you're alive without warning
Ah, the shift has come
And he must answer without swaying
Ah, when the change is done
Eyes open now with a sense of self
A lustful babe, he applies his wealth
In untouched air that he's fond of breathing
'Cause life alone can get you by
But the more he looks, the more he sees
The total view don't come easily
A landscape scar on his periph'ral
'Cause looks alone won't get you by
'Cause you could die without warning
Ah, the shift has come
And you must answer without swaying
Ah, when the change is done
But eventually his eyes were faded
His view will shake and he will pine on days
He always knew that is would come, but it still surprises him
How all this time can just go by
And then he's older without warning
Ah, the shift has come
And he must answer without swaying
Ah, when the change is done
And he's older without warning
The shift has come
And he must answer without swaying
When the change is done
