From the first cry of a babe

To the age of twenty-five

I've searched my soul to find myself

But I'm still unrecognized



One-way streets, walls of concrete

Two restless feet's all I've got

Oh Lord, I'm so afraid

For third of my life is shot



And I get out of breath

Watching the world spin so fast

My future becomes my past

My mind gets hung so bad

That I get out of breath



It's all right for the successful

To tell you take your time

Have patience, understanding

While the suicide rates climb



I work all day to try and pay back

Debts that won't go down

I can't say that I'm lost

No, I just ain't been found



And I get out of breath

Watching the world spin so fast

My future becomes my past

My mind gets hung so bad

That I get out of breath



People spend more time

Asking forgiveness than being good

Everyone's out stealing

Or home planning how they could



Double standards make good mandirs

That strip us of our pride

Our morals have decayed

Yeah, and this I can not buy



And I get out of breath

Watching the world spin so fast

My future becomes my past

My life gets hung so bad

That I get out of breath
