Why Can't It Be?

You're walking down a lonely road
You have no place to call your home
You play your game
Fell no pain
When the wheels of life come to an end You're walking proud winds on your back
Your head held high or else you'll crack
You play your game
Feel no shame
Whatever it is it's coming again

Why can't it be like it used to be
Why can't it be
Why can't it be that way at all
Why can't it be like it used to be
Why can't it be
Why can't you see when you fall

You dream of things that may not come
You slip and slide until you're numb
You play your game
Feel no pain
The ribbons of life just come untied
You hitch a ride without a care
The breeze is flowing through your hair
You play your game
Feel no shame
When the reaper is sitting by your side

Why can't it be like it used to be
Why can't it be
Why can't it be that way at all
Why can't it be like it used to be
Why can't it be
Why can't you see when you fall
Why can't it be like it used to be
Why can't it be
Why can't it be that way at all
Why can't it be like it used to be
Why can't it be
Why can't you see when you fall
Why can't it be like it used to be
Why can't it be
Why can't it be that way at all
Why can't it be that way at all
