I thought the only thing
That mattered was me

You always told me it was just insane
To feel such joy
While others feel pain

There's no way to change this angry heart
Cause when love goes
It will tear you apart

And it's been this way since time began
It's a desperate search for a promised land
And the years slip by like so much sand

So many people who are dying to live
It tortures my heart
They've got so much to give

I never saw it as a battle before
To win the fight
There has to be more

And there's no way to change this angry heart
Cause all these fears
Will tear you apart

And it's been this way since time began
It's an endless journey, it's the fate of man
To live each day and never understand

And it's been this way since time began
It's a desperate search for a master plan
And the years slip by like water through your hands
