Every time I close my eyes
I hide behind the blackened lies
That follow me
/>
throughout my history
The lives I've touched
The things I've done,
The
things I know will never come
Get washed away
In my happiness
And oh,
when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life
/>
Moving on was hard to do
To leave the things that I once knew
Childhood is the one
thing
That won't come back to me
How can I sit idly by
Watching all these hours
denied
My name is all I have
For an offering
And oh, when you feel
stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life
Built up
walls
That crumbled down
People marched
And stood their ground
I saw it
happen
It was part of me
And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for
granted
This thing called life
