The song Slightly Out Of Reach is performed by James LaBrie in the album named Elements of Persuasion in the year 2005 .
Working so hard, what are you getting out of this
Commitment, have many nice things
But there's no time to take a rest
And you're spent
In the moment you never seem to be
That time will come
Taken from those
You should be here, you look on
But you're not part of anything there
The days and the years are pa*sing
Quite the man with your worldly possessions
The crown upon you in all its glory
Driven around down these same ole roads
You've known far too long
Turning around's not an option in front of you
You're too far gone
And all the signs are warning him
A dead end street
Taken from those
You should be here, looking on
But you're not part of anything there
The days and the years have pa*sed you
Getting old with your worldly possessions
The crown upon you in all its glory
Not sure that you know any more
What you feel right now
To look back when you dreamed
That you'd have everything you want
It's so hard to just to get through
So much of the time
You were not here, you looked on
But were not part of anything there
The days and the years have pa*sed you
Now you're old
All your worldly possessions crumbling
Now all of your time is spent there
They moved on
And they're not part of anything here
The days and the years have pa*sed you
And you're old with your worldly possessions
All crumbling 'round you and all its glory
