He was a boy who once had a dream To be a king with an enormous ring One, two, and it disappears Every time I learn that wish Get on your feet And prepare for the rest of your days The boy's father was lost many times When the time has come He said, Sonny, don't you slip it away The boy grew up and heard the sound of a bell Not for anyone's sake But for the sake of his own life Get on your horse Now be gone and won't come back Afraid of when I won't ever say goodbye Days are gone and enough to go back I'm interested in the future, not in the past Seize the day You boys and girls and young and old Time is heartless You can't just wait for something more Blistering, heating, freezing Cold wind hurts you to death Be strong, be brave But don't be afraid to grow Seize the day You boys and girls and young and old Life is different Life is nothing, life is short Blistering, heating, freezing Cold wind hurts you to death Be strong, be brave But don't be afraid to grow Not for anyone's sake But for the sake of his own life Get on your horse Now be gone and won't come back Afraid of when I won't ever say goodbye Days are gone and enough to go back I'm interested in the future, not in the past Not in the past Not in the past Not in the past Not in the past Not in the past Not in the past Not in the past
