A single sunbeam

Cuts through the morning clouds

Its light shines on the young man

Standing tall and proud

So many hopes and dreams

All waiting to be fulfilled

Eyes set on tomorrow,

He starts walking down the hill

Soon he has to realize

It's harder than he'd thought

Many decisions must be made

Many fights be fought

Merciless struggle

Makes him shiver with fear

You never know what hits you

From the rear

Let the magic rise again

Your precious life that's just begun

Will soon be over

Let the magic rise again

The time has come to carry on

As you grow older

Is this what you're looking for?

Is this what you wanted to be?

Is this what you've been waiting for?

Is this what you wanted to see?

A silver tear slips

From the old man's eye

His loved ones sobbing silently

As they kiss him goodbye

A single tear says more

Than a thousand words

Sadness fills him while he steps

Into another world

Let the magic rise again

Your precious life that's just begun

Will soon be over

Let the magic rise again

The time has come to carry on

As you grow older

It seems there is no other way

To throw our sorrow away

No other thing we have done

Let us all be as one

Life's endless circle

Is drawing to a close

"I must leave you now" he says

"That's the way it goes.

For one that dies

Another one is born."

He slowly takes a last breath

Then he's gone
