[00:14.78] Seems like once upon a time ago
[00:17.41] I was where I was supposed to be
[00:21.60] My vision was true and my heart was too
[00:26.53] There was no end to what I could dream
[00:31.72] I walked like a hero into the setting sun
[00:39.35] Everyone called out my name
[00:42.72] Death to me was just a mystery
[00:47.72] I was too busy raising up Cain
[00:51.66] But nothing lasts forever
[00:59.04] Your best efforts don't always pay
[01:03.35] Sometimes you get sick and don't get better
[01:07.66] That's when life is short
[01:10.22] Even in it's longest days
[01:16.28] So you pretend not to notice
[01:23.16] That everything has changed
[01:25.60] The way that you look and the friends you once had
[01:31.78] So you keep on acting the same
[01:34.78] But deep down in your soul
[01:43.84] You know you, you got no flame
[01:48.59] And who knows then which way to go
[01:51.66] Life is short even in it's longest days
[02:03.35] All I got here
[02:05.29] Is a rear view mirror
[02:09.85] Reflections of where I've been
[02:16.10] So you tell yourself
[02:23.65] I'll be back up on top some day
[02:27.16] But you know there's nothing
[02:31.47] Waiting up there for you anyway
[02:34.85] Nothing lasts forever
[02:42.40] And your best efforts don't always pay
[02:46.78] Sometimes you get sick and you don't get better
[02:52.03] That's when life is short
[02:54.91] Even in it's longest days
[02:57.65] Life is short
[03:04.84] Even in it's longest days
