Pink Floyd:Childhood's End

From LyricWiki

Jump to: navigation, search
This song is performed by Pink Floyd and appears on the album Obscured By Clouds (1972).
You shout in your sleep,
Perhaps the price is just too steep.
Is your conscience at rest
If once put to the test?
You awake with a start
To just the beating of your heart,
Just one man beneath the sky,
Just two ears, just two eyes.

You set sail across the sea,
Long past thoughts and memories.
Childhood's end: your fantasies
Merge with harsh realities.
And then, as the sail is hoist,
You'll find your eyes are growing moist;
And all the fears never voiced,
So you have to make your final choice.

Who are you and who am I
To say we know the reason why?
Some are born, some men die
Beneath one infinite sky.
There'll be war, there'll be peace,
But everything one day will cease.
All the iron turned to rust,
All the proud men turned to dust.
And so all things time will mend
So this song will end.
