"Speed Of Life" lyrics

Well it seems like only yesterday that I was just a girl
Wandering through life without a care in this old world
I'd climb upon the roof when everybody was asleep
In the stillness of the night I could hear my own heartbeat
I remember when the days seemed like they'd never ever end
And time would take you by the hand and lead you like a friend

But through the years it seemed that life was faster than I thought
And now those lazy days are in the land that time forgot

'Cause it's faster than a rocket and nobody's going to stop it
We're soaring like a bird in flight
And I will never leave you standing from the take off to the landing
There'll be nothing faster than the speed of life
Nothing is faster than the speed of life

Sometimes I feel like living in the eye of life's storm
To watch the winds of gas as they swirl and take their form
Then I'd be a girl again sitting on a roof
Right back on the starting page of life's unwritten book

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause it's faster than a rocket and nobody's going to stop it
We're soaring like a bird in flight
And I will never leave you standing from the take off to the landing
There'll be nothing faster than the speed of life

'Cause it's faster than a rocket and nobody's going to stop it
We're soaring like a bird in flight
And I will never leave you standing from the take off to the landing
There'll be nothing faster than the speed of life
Nothing is faster than the speed of life
Nothing is faster than the speed of life
