Pete was in a daydream
For quite a while
He tried to go about his life
As usual with a smile
But inside he was aching
For the life he’d left behind
He needed a new purpose
To refocus his mind
CHORUS:
What was the meaning?
Did it change a thing?
What lessons can be learned?
It’s just so bewildering
So Pete Chronos settled down
Into obscurity
No longer anyone special
Just mediocrity
Constantly inside his head
Pete would hear a voice
A niggling doubt that kept telling him
He had made the wrong choice
(CHORUS)
Had the music really made a difference big or small?
Had there been a real purpose?
And if so had it been achieved at all?
Pete resolved to document
His story in the hope
His demons would be exorcised
And thereby he may cope
He set the tale to music
A rock opera naturally
With names changed to protect the innocent
It was his legacy
(CHORUS x 2)
