Always thinkin' 'bout the days gone by
When my childhood eyes saw only hills and sky
But I'm not the simple-minded girl I used to be
Now I've learned to picture life in its reality
And I find after all the searching, life was only how I played it
After all the searching for new games to play
After all the searching, life was only what I made it
After all the searching for new games to play,
I live my life
Saw a dragon shake cathedral walls
While the steeple bells rang out in anguished call
Then I turned my eyes to see a bird fly overhead
And I dreamed its wings of freedom could be mine instead
And I found after all the dreaming, truth appeared asleep, just faded
After all the dreaming, now at last I see
After all the dreaming, truth appeared with sounds to aid it
After all the dreaming, time has passed by me
I live my life
Oh, and I do find...
After all the searching, life was only how I played it
After all the searching for new games to play
After all the searching, life was only what I made it
After all the searching, time has passed by me
I live my life
I live my life
