The Older We Get

(album: People - 1988)

As a child touching age we think that it's so
That life, love and everything is easy to know
The old, they can't reach us, their ways are not ours
Though they furrowed our futures, our freedom they bore

The older we get, the farther we see
The more we mean to each other
The more you mean to me

I believe in these people, I believe in this age
Though I hear about torment in lives lonely page
Yet still we walk strong, we'll remember we're free
For the truth we are given, for what we believe

The older we get, the farther we see
The more we mean to each other
The more you mean to me, oh

I have searched out the answers to the mysteries, the laws
Though still I find barriers, yet still I would fall
But I still struggle on the truth that I seek
But I must remain strong for the lonely, the weak, the weak, the old

The older we get, the farther we see
The more we mean to each other
The more you mean to me, older we get

The older we get, the farther we see
The more we mean to each other
The more you mean to me

The older we get, the farther we see
The more we mean to each other
The more you mean to me

The older we get, the farther we see
The more we mean to each other
The more you mean to me, yes
