From the coast of gold across the seven seas 
I'm traveling on far and wide 
But now it seems I'm just a stranger to myself 
And all the things I sometimes do 
It isn't me but someone else 

I close my eyes and think of home 
Another city goes by in the night 
Ain't it funny how it is, 
You never miss it till its gone away 
And my heart is lying there 
And will be till my dying day 

So understand 
Don't waste your time always 
Searching for those wasted years 
Face up... make your stand 
And realize you're living in the golden years 

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind 
Can't easy this pain so easily 
When you can't find the words to say 
It's hard to make it through another day 
And it just makes me wanna cry 
And throw my hands up to the sky 

So understand 
Don't waste your time always 
Searching for those wasted years 
Face up... make your stand 
And realize you're living in the golden years 

So understand 
Don't waste your time always 
Searching for those wasted years 
Face up... make your stand 
And realize you're living in the golden years
