life in front of me

I see the mountains ahead of me

I see the tops of the tall pine trees

bouncing in the back of an old beat-ip truck

I caught a ride and decided it means good luck

when I was young I lived in wonder

in love I fell with the spell I was under

I believed in the family of my good friends

oh, how I wish it was like that again

          take me back to the times

          that I once left behind

          when daydreams were mine

          and the living was free

          take me back to the land

          where I once had no plans

          except to understand

          the life in front of me

I used to be as innocent as the wind

time held no fear and life was my friend

joy whistled like birds and I knew the song

and here was the place where I belonged

          take me back to the times

          that I once left behind

          when daydreams were mine

          and the living was free

          take me back to the land

          where I once had no plans

          except to understand

          the life in front of me
