There's a plane and I am flying 
There's a mountain waiting for me 
Oh these years have been so trying 

I don't know if I can use them 
Am I strong enough 
To be the one 
Will I live to have some children 

Help me get down 
I can make it 
Help me get down 
Help me get down 
I can make it 
Help me get down 

If I only knew the answer 
I wouldn't be bothering you 

Father 
Help me get down 
I can make it 
Help me get down 
Help me get down 
I can make it 
Help me get down 

If I only knew the answer 
And if all our days are numbered 
Then why do I keep counting 

My sugar is sweet 
and so obtainable
This behavior so unexplainable 
The days just slip and slide 
Like they always did 
The trouble is my head 
Won't let me forget 

I took one last good look around 
So many unusual sounds 
I gotta get my feet on the ground 

Help me get down 
I can make it 

Help me get down 
I can make it 
Help me get down 
Help me get down 
I can make it 
Help me get down 

If I only knew the answer 
I wouldn't be bothering you 

Father 
Help me get down 
I can make 
Help me get down 
Help me get down 
I can make it 
Help me get down 

If I only knew the answer 
And if all our days are numbered 

Would you help me get down 

If I only knew the answer 
If I change my way of living 
And If I pave my streets with good times 
Will the mountain keep on giving 

And if all of our days are numbered 
Then why do I keep counting
