- After all the time of waiting,
- She finally came along
- But what had started out all right
- Was ending up all wrong.
- His family, they all loved her.
- So to keep things simplified,
- He courted her, although he knew
- She would never be his bride.
- Reckoning since they’d come this far
- They might as well go on.
- He hitched their wagon to a star
- But the harness wasn’t strong.
- The star grew a comet’s tail
- And forcefully pushed them through the air.
- The harness broke; the wagon tore loose
- And they both ended up Nowhere.

- It would be so easy to say,
- “I don’t care if you leave it there.
- It doesn’t matter if it should lay
- In the way for one more day.”
- But later on, it’s you, my child
- Who would have the higher price to pay.
- It would be so easy to say,
- “I don’t care if you swear.
- You hear it, these days, everywhere.
- A word’s just a word anyway.”
- But later on, it’s you, my child
- Who would have the higher price to pay.
- It would be so easy to say,
- “I don’t care if you steal.
- Everyone does it; I know how you feel.
- Rules were made to be broken, not to obey.”
- But later on, it’s you, my child
- Who would have the higher price to pay.
- It would be so easy to say,
- “I don’t care what you do.
- It’s your life, it’s up to you!”
- But you might be a parent someday
- And later on, it’s you, my child
- Who would have the higher price to pay.
