Old Souls - William Prince

You can sit by the ocean but that won’t make you into a shell

Be the first there on Sunday that don’t mean one day heaven’s there

Faith without action is just spinning no traction — what the hell?

Like a life with no dream is just wakin' and sleepin' 'til you’re dead

And we’re all just old souls

First, you crawl then you walk

Walk then you run

Crash into things now and then

All too close to the sun

Generation numb

Burning the tips of our wings

And we’re all just old souls

You can live for the moment

Or dwell for atonement in disguise

Author your fate or

Lay down and don’t even try

But direction and hunger

Will one day uncover and align

Purpose and meaning

Restitution and healing for your time

And we’re all just old souls

First you crawl then you walk

Walk then you run

Crash into things now and then

All too close to the sun

Generation numb

Burning the tips of our wings

And we’re all just old souls

First you crawl then you walk

Walk then you run

Crash into things now and then

All too close to the sun

Generation numb

Burning the tips of our wings

And we’re all just old souls

In between old souls

First you crawl then you walk

Walk then you run

Crash into things now and then

All too close to the sun

Generation numb

Burning the tips of our wings

It’s just the push and the pull

The yell and the whisper

Hallucination of time

The concept of distance

And some old souls

In between the old souls

We’re all just old souls
