Well, you're 99 years old
What can you tell me that I haven't heard
Come on Gramps give to me just one timeless word of wisdom
You could walk through the canyons on his face
And he spoke as he stared into space
You're born
And you die
And somewhere in between
You find a place to hide your conscience
While you go on searchin' for just one fleeting moment of grace
Standing alone in time
Standing alone in time
Standing alone in time
Standing
Well, you're 25
What can you tell me since you're so alive
Come on Sonny-boy just show me one tiny flame of truth
Burning from your youth
Burning from your youth
First you walk
Then you crawl
And somewhere on the floor you see the meaning of life
And you reach down to get it
As soon as you touch it, you forget it and you're...
Standing alone in time
Standing alone in time
Standing alone in time
Standing
Well I hold you in my arms
As I look into your eyes
I know I must be desperate
To look for answers here
When the half-empty glass is so clear
With all the words she might have spoken
You know she said, "You must be jokin'!"
You're first
Or you're last
It doesn't really matter
If you're slow or you're fast
Or if you know where you're goin'
You're there and you don't even know it"
Standing together in time
Standing together in time
Standing together in time
Standing
I'm standing alone in time
Standing alone in time
Standing alone in time
Standing
