Some say a song's just notes and bars
No speech for what moves us above the stars
Where the waves knock us down off our lines
It's more than the rhythm in perfect time
What observation can't explain
The warmth of your skin in a frigid rain
Or the joy that will come when our work is done
It's the light in the eyes of my only son
In all that you hold dear
It's just another year
We can't always deny
That there is more than getting by
The wars and the weight on you
The wars and the weight on you
Now I start to feel the years
The sweat on my brow, the taste of tears
The strength to say when I'm wrong
And the faith you will carry me along
When I choose to live like hell
With a thirst for greed and a soul to sell
Not down below or up above
But always here with the freedom of your love
In all that you hold dear
It's just another year
We can't always deny
That there is more than getting by
The wars and the weight on you
The wars and the weight on you
We can't always deny
That there is more than getting by
The wars and the weight on you
The wars and the weight on you
