Even as a young boyI thought about everything I ownAnd if I didn't have itHad to get itEverything I took for grantedStill the same way now that I'm grownI'm staring at a young manStill holding onto everything he ownsIf I could only get him to admit itLiving is the only giftSpend it on the ones that you loveAnd can we all be satisfiedOn the road that's harder to surviveIn the end we'll climb to the top of the tree of lifeWhen you're staring at a closed handStill holding onto everything you ownYou can tell yourself that you believeTomorrow isn't guaranteedYou take the names of those that you knowDon't let me be the old manDying holding everything he ownsWho spent every minute just to get itSongtexteEveryone he took for grantedLying on his deathbed aloneAnd can we all be satisfiedOn the road that's harder to surviveIn the end we'll climb to the top of the tree of lifeAnd see how far we've climbed beneathThe winding trail from you to meIn the end we'll climb to the top of the tree of lifeAnd look down on the raging seaI feel like I knew more when I was youngMy days spent in the sunlight lasted foreverBut now it seems like days just disappearAnd we lost another yearJust looking for each otherAnd can we all be satisfiedOn the road that's harder to surviveIn the end we'll climb to the top of the tree of lifeAnd see how far we've climbed beneathThe winding trail from you to meIn the end we'll climb to the top of the tree of lifeDon't let me be the old manDying holding everything he ownsWho spent every minute just to get itEveryone he took for grantedLying on his deathbed alone Aus Songtexte Mania
