After all I'm older now dear
And I don't believe in anything
I trusted in as a child
And everything's gone
Everything's gone son, he said
You've got to be strong
Just to be strong son, he said
Don't depend on hope to get you by
Whoa no, you think I was wrong my dear?
Think I was wrong, no
Whoa no, you think I was wrong my dear
Think I was wrong, no
Oh, did you think I was wrong?
After all I noticed how the west was tamed
Remind the purple mountains
I'll drive through the majesty in their veins
But everything's gone
Everything's gone son, he said
You've got to be strong
Just to be strong son, he said
Drowning in the amber waves of grain
Whoa no, did you think I was wrong my dear?
You think I was wrong
Whoa no, did you think I was wrong my dear?
You think I was wrong, oh
Oh, did you think I was wrong?
Whoa oh, think I was wrong
Think I was wrong
Whoa no, think I was wrong
No, no
