After All
Always thinkin' about the days gone by
When my childhood eyes saw only hills and sky
But I'm not the simple-minded girl I used to be
Now I've learned to picture life in its reality
And I found
After all the searching
Life was only how I played it
After all the searching for new games to play
After all the searching
Life was only what I made it
After all the searching for new games to play
I live my life
Saw a dragon shake cathedral walls
While the steeple bells rang out an anguished call
But I turned my eyes to see a bird fly overhead
And I dreamed its wings of freedom could be mine instead
And I found
After all the dreaming
Truth appeared as sleep just faded
After all the dreaming
Now at last I see
After all the dreaming
Truth appeared with sounds to aid it
After all the dreaming
Time has passed by me
I live my life
Oh, not too far
After all the searching
Life was only how I played it
After all the searching for new games to play
After all the searching
Life was only what I made it
After all the searching
Time has passed by me
I live my life
I live my life
When my childhood eyes saw only hills and sky
But I'm not the simple-minded girl I used to be
Now I've learned to picture life in its reality
And I found
After all the searching
Life was only how I played it
After all the searching for new games to play
After all the searching
Life was only what I made it
After all the searching for new games to play
I live my life
Saw a dragon shake cathedral walls
While the steeple bells rang out an anguished call
But I turned my eyes to see a bird fly overhead
And I dreamed its wings of freedom could be mine instead
And I found
After all the dreaming
Truth appeared as sleep just faded
After all the dreaming
Now at last I see
After all the dreaming
Truth appeared with sounds to aid it
After all the dreaming
Time has passed by me
I live my life
Oh, not too far
After all the searching
Life was only how I played it
After all the searching for new games to play
After all the searching
Life was only what I made it
After all the searching
Time has passed by me
I live my life
I live my life
