They planted a tree on the old man's grave
In the town where his life began
He never wandered away from that place
Never bothered to try to understand
Nobody told him
Things could be different
If you wanna be someone you're gonna have to run while you can
Run while you can
He was always to nervous to try something new
He was happy with the way things were before
He never wondered what life could be like
Till he lay there sprawled across the floor
Cause there's less time than you know
Til the lines start to show on your face
Did you know that the race started long ago?
So run while you can
Before you're an old man
And someone plants a tree on your grave
Run while you can
