lyrics

Easy come, easy go
Slide back down
Easy come, easy go
Slide back down

Can't believe that this dream's gone away
Can't believe that I'm in the same place
Try to wander to know where you're going
Try to know what you know without knowing

I believe in a God up above
I believe in a Mother's true love
Like a star in the sky you will shine
Burning out on a journey through time

Nothing up at the top of the mountain
And the fear of the fall never ends
Nothing left at the end of the summer
And the fear of the fall never ends

Nothing stays if you wanted to keep it
Nothing leaves if you want it to stay
Easy come in a world turning backward
Easy go, easy come, easy, easy!
