Age always gets the rest of us. [[VERSE 2]] Spent all my time wandering and wondering If I really was who I thought. I should’ve been thinking more (much much more) About the person I was not. [[CHORUS]] The minute you‘re born, You slowly start dying. The minute you realize it, You gotta start lying We are like children, little, little children We think the end will never come. [[VERSE 3]] Didn’t you realize this about us? Life is a slide full of turns and bends? Maybe the angels will catch us (I pray the angels catch us) When we finally reach the end [[CHORUS]] The minute you‘re born, You slowly start dying. The minute you realize it, You gotta start lying (lying to yourself) We are like children, little, little children We think the end will never come. [[BRIDGE]] Seconds to days, days to years, Years to something called eternity. (seconds to days to years to eternity) By then, time won’t matter (no, time won't matter at all) To the world of all the someones Just like you and me. Everyone is just like you and me. [[FINAL CHORUS]] The minute you‘re born, You slowly start dying. The minute you realize it, You gotta stop lying Gotta stop, gotta stop, gotta stop lying (stop lying to yourself) You gotta start, gotta start, gotta start living In the end, oh sweet soul, oh sweet soul We will all sleep like children, like little children [[OUTRO]] The minute you’re born, you slowly start dying. The minute you’re born, you slowly start dying. The minute you realize it, just look up and start living. The minute you realize it, just look up and start living. Ahh, sweet children, look on up and start living Look on up and start living. Just look on up and start living.
