Grandma told me   stories...  'bout life from way back when   
Walking uphill both ways through the snow.  
Rugged people trudging down the narrow path   a - head 
Going where their dad-dy said  to  go   
Way     back   when...  Everything seemed simple baby 
Some    day    soon...       maybe  it'll all make    sense again but 
Here   and     now...        got a  world to explore.   Got some   
Riddles to  un - ravel, ba by       what you waiting   for?   for? 
now... here and  now...    we got  choices all a - round 
 now...   we got interest com - pound...ing. 
Taking things for granted that'd shatter Newton's mind 
 morrow's here and now
