So long The boy I was now don't belong I've worked so hard, is this all I have to show? Last night I had a dream Where I crossed to the other side and met death's king (And he asked: Son, what do you want? How far can you see? I didn't know, I couldn't see a thing) These scars, like stones, out of place These scars, like stones, seem a waste He broke my bones, but I was far from home After a while in the dark, my eyes grew clearer And I saw a dead man, no longer dead, coming nearer The song I heard him sing was too familiar All too familiar These scars, like stones, out of place These scars, like stones, seem a waste He broke my bones (We'll sing along) One day, we'll see a king in his chair With all his children standing there Singing songs they somehow know That they've known from the beginning We'll sing along These songs that they know, you've known from the beginning And all my scars, like stones, will form a building
