I'm losing touch with reality
Those beautiful faces are all that I see
And children running away from the mountain
It's too late
I am the old man in the tree
I answer all questions asked of me
But soon I think that I will die
And be a bird
"Then old man answer me."
"Can you tell me what it means to die?" (Alt...fly?)
Little boy can't you see?
Why I'm in this old OAK TREE
It's not because I want to be
It's just to find the key
And now that I've found eternity
I find there is no reality
And people who hide in fantasy (Alt...buy the fantasy)
Are fools.
