Blues Traveler Trina Magna Lyrics

As I was taught to lead
I was fed well on what had come before.
Everyone who had ever lived
Left a lesson regarding what's in store.
They were just like you and me,
Guessing their a__es off. Oh yes, they tried to guess well.
It's our turn now. I hope we're forgiven.
Chalk it up to knowledge and change, and life itself.

And as I shall learn to follow,
I'll feed the leaders with everything I can.
They'll bring revolutions
That, try as I may, I just won't understand.
They will be just like you and me,
Pretending they're not guessing, as if we couldn't tell.
It'll be their turn then. I hope we can forgive them.
Chalk it up to knowledge and change, and life itself.

It seems a cycle that we all seem to share,
The passing from hand to hand of our pride and despair.
Both parent and child cry apathy, but everybody cares.
And then we vanish in thin air, and only time is there, time and a legacy...
History holds questions for everyone, a story that's only just begun
Blind passed the g______ horizon sees more than father, less than son
Life and death merely pretending, we're part of the infinite ending

We are gonna teach and learn.
We're gonna get fed well, and then we shall feed.
We, we are ancient,
We are brand spanking new, we shall follow and lead
'Cause we are simply you and me,
In proving our traditions on the brink of heaven and hell.
We each get a turn, and then we're forgiven.
And we call it knowledge and change, and life itself.
And we call it knowledge and change, and life itself
And we call it knowledge and change, and life...
