Twenty Years Later Songtext / Lyric

I can hold my breath for a minute or so

Five days without food is as long as I'll go

I didn't sleep once for four days and three nights

I once didn't stop for seven red lights

I jumped into water that's fifty degrees

I rowed in a kayak in thirty-foot seas

I stayed in the woods for a week with a knife

A flint when I lost it nearly cost me my life

Twenty years later…

I'm still upside down






It's a small world

And it's turning real fast

Here upside down

It's a new day

And the mourning has passed

Turned upside down

It's a short road

But the mountains are tall

Land upside down

It's a small world

But we all start out small



I hurtle through air though I feel I'm alone

I stick with the others to the skin of the stone

I stop for a stranger just to give him a lift

I cling like a lizard to the side of the cliff

I treat every minute like an hour and then

It seems like a year has just flashed by again

We build a foundation but where do we stand

When all air is water and all water is land

Twenty years later…

I'm still upside down



And it's a small world

And it's turning real fast

Here upside down

It's a new day

And the mourning has passed

Turned upside down

It's a short road

But the mountains are tall

Land upside down

It's a small world

But we all start out small



Feel it turning in circles

And you're never the same again

Spin slowly while sounds cascade

And became

I'm here upside down



It's a small world

And it's turning real fast

Here upside down

It's a new day

And the mourning has passed

Here upside down

It's a short road

But the mountains are tall

Land upside down

It's a small world

But then we all start out small



Inside this silent scene

All are free, all are free

Second time around
