When I was a boy I used to ask the sky for things
I lay in bed reciting lines to the ceiling
I made requests as though the clouds were somehow listening
I read a book because somebody said it'd save me

Now I'm old and I believe only the things I see
The awful news and whatever is on the T.V.
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
The sad truth that the world is descending
If miracles exist then god is holding out on me

There is nothing waiting behind the clouds
Just a man pulling strings

We live in a sad world
I'm not a sad man
I'm thankful for the ones I love
My family and friends
