Somewhere under your everyday restraint hides a faint
Echo of laughter from the hereafter
From an existence known to be true
A voice is warning you
Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs!
They're colors on paper that won't last
Someday you'll see the truth in it
And though your life goes on like a story or a movie
You're acting the scenes like one with no clue
Of what lies in store for you
Just don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs!
They're colors on paper that won't last
Like the wind you can expand yourself to be free
Like the waves you'll understand that you are the sea
Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs...
'Cause even the treasured ones won't last
Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs
They're colors on paper that won't last
The life in your faded photographs
Is color on paper that won't last
The life in your faded photographs
Has colors on paper that won't last
Echo of laughter from the hereafter
From an existence known to be true
A voice is warning you
Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs!
They're colors on paper that won't last
Someday you'll see the truth in it
And though your life goes on like a story or a movie
You're acting the scenes like one with no clue
Of what lies in store for you
Just don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs!
They're colors on paper that won't last
Like the wind you can expand yourself to be free
Like the waves you'll understand that you are the sea
Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs...
'Cause even the treasured ones won't last
Don't let your future repeat your past
Away with your faded photographs
They're colors on paper that won't last
The life in your faded photographs
Is color on paper that won't last
The life in your faded photographs
Has colors on paper that won't last
