Don't know what the world is gonna do
Or if we can get off this road that we're on
There's hate in my brother's but and as the time goes by
I get harder

They say we learn by our mistakes then we carry on
Sometimes I'm not sure sometimes I'm not sure
There's no brakes on this car as it rolls down the hill
My muscles are straining, my foot's through the floor

Perhaps that's why, perhaps that's why
I see the dolphin and it makes me cry
As I look in your eye as I look in your eye
As the time goes by, it makes me cry

Don't want to go to school anymore today
Coz history keeps on and on repeating herself
She can't forgive she just licks all of her wounds
And sore is the day and sore is the night

When I was a boy when I was growing up
Life was so simple then, life was so sweet
Now that I'm older I am wise as a fool
I keep breaking those golden, golden rules
Perhaps that's why, perhaps that's why
I see the dolphin and it makes me cry
As I look in your eye as I look in your eye
As the time goes by, it makes me cry

Did you ever touch the loneliness of a broken man
Did you ever see a starving child die
Do we really do these things to one another
Do you see why... dolphins make me cry
