A young man will follow his heart

Into lonely and blue

He'll kick like a mule at the thought

Of being told what to do

An old man's just trying to

Keep himself out of the way

He's seen it all and said all

That there is to say.

There is a line

Running through time.

A young man will try to chase

Every new sunrise away

Heartache is harder for him

In the bright light of day

An old man will hold it and

Touch it and shine it with care

He knows how lucky he is just

See it was there.

There is a line

Running through time.

There's a line through the middle

A line that you cross

A part that you finish if you don't

Get lost

Some just get tired of that same old routine

Some wind up lucky and gracefully

Stuck in between.

There is a line

Running through time.
