I start counting the leaves While everybody's behind I'm waiting here for the meek They will inherit this time And everybody's laughing When you say you're gonna rise above And there's no use asking When you pray that all you need is love It doesn't matter to me Well, does it matter to you They didn't give you much space They didn't give you much time In this golden age Too much has been told And too much has been said But you'll never get old When everybody's dead And all your children are laughing When you say you're gonna rise above And there is no use asking When you've got memories to dwell upon it doesn't matter to me Well, does it matter to you They didn't give you much space They didn't give you much time In this golden age I start counting the leaves While everybody's behind I'm waiting here for the meek They shall inherit this time And everybody's laughing When you say you're gonna rise above But there's no use asking When You pray that all you need is love it doesn't matter to me Well, does it matter to you I didn't loose my face I didn't trace my time In your golden age
