Maybe you'll find some peace of mind which is more than what I have   We say something is wrong and it is/ But I don't know the secrets   how to live either      Maybe you'll run away/ Maybe we'll run away from how we've been   feeling/ Maybe to us you'll cease to speak/ We'll be unable to keep   memory of you burning      I knew you when/ I knew you when I wanted to be like you   When your power, it was too much/ You could too easily walk across   the barriers, through the dwellings/ You wondered why it was because   as a child you were so able      You could organize the people/ So it came as no surprise that you   had the first and the most girlfriends/ You were our emcee of life   So it came as no surprise that you were an old man by twenty-one      I knew you when/ I knew you when I wanted to be like you   When doing well versus not doing well/ We'd say "whatever   that means"/ Doing well versus not doing well/ We'd say "whatever   that means"      I show the disgust on my face/ You try to please me in haste/ To   stop all of this family's bleeding/ Our mother, she tries to translate   She says it looks like hate/ But you kids are just heartbroken      I know it was hollow here/ All the achievement and the cheer that   left you feeling empty/ You wondered why it was because as a child   you were so able      I knew you when/ I knew you when I wanted to be like you   Maybe you'll find some peace of mind which is more than what I have
