After All (I Live My Life)

Always think about the days gone by
When my childhood eyes saw only hills and sky
But I'm not the simple-minded boy I used to be
No, I learned to picture life in its reality

I found after all the searching, life was only what I made it
After all the searching for new games to play
I found after all the searching, life was only what I made it
After all the searching for a new game to play

I live my life away

Saw a dragon shake cathedral walls
While a steeple bell rang out in anguished calls
And I turned my eyes to see a bird fly overhead
And I dreamt its wings of freedom could be mine instead

And I found after all the dreaming, life was only what I made it
After all the dreaming for new games to play
After all the dreaming, life was only what I made it
After all the dreaming of new games to play
I drink my life away

Even after all the searching, life was only what I made it
After all the searching for a new game to play
After all the searching, life was only how you take it
After all the searching for a new game to play

I live my life away
Live it all
Live it all
Live that life away
Oh, no, no
