(Verse) They say it’s better to cover Wounds remove your power And the journey is far from over So, we dream while we stagger Past the thoughts that badger Day by day spreading much faster (Pre-Chorus) Though the words are not engraved We will fight until our graves And only got ourselves to blame For standing in our own way (Chorus) Maybe now’s the time to realize We’re not always right And that’s a part of Knowing our rotation round the sun When optimism fails We must trim and make sail Cos nothing needs to end in flames Once we’re all gone (Verse) There’s no great escape We have more to say But stay still instead of changing our fate Here you talk of freedom Still no sign of peace and Your hands burn and bleed while we run (Pre-Chorus) If we had the golden touch Then it doesn’t ask too much To use it as helping hand And a chance to breathe again (Chorus) (Bridge) Even if we inch closer to gods We postpone the inevitable No more hiding from smoke and mirrors Clearly we’re not impenetrable. (Chorus)

(Verse) One footstep slow and steady, Into better days, As the winter winds are falling Gently on my face, We’re running through the fields again, Haunted by old fears, I chase you but I can’t catch up Too wasted by those years. (Pre-Chorus) Through the frosty rain, I’m clutching your hand, Raging at the sky, Through my blood and tears, Head against the wall, As I begin to cry (Chorus) And as we rise to face the forest, The sun goes down alone, Is there anyone left to save us, And a place where flowers grow, But for the first time in a century, I finally see your smile! And the sun still shines tomorrow! So let’s keep on chasing light (Verse 2) Riding the waves of night Hair flying through the wind, Remember playing my first guitar When we had a place to live. Tasting the ocean breeze, These raindrops on my tongue, I dream of these better days, We had when we were young. (Pre-Chorus) It’s so hard to believe, That before too long, It’ll all be gone, It’s so hard to believe, That before too long, We’re back at square one (Chorus) (Break) (Chorus) And as we rise to face the forest, The sun goes down alone, Is there anyone left to save us, And a place where flowers grow, But for the first time in a century, I finally see your smile! And the sun still shines tomorrow! So let’s keep on chasing light But as we rise to face the forest, The sun casts down its light, Illuminating this damned place, With promise of new life, And for the first time in a century, I finally see your smile! Sparks are flying faster! Makes this struggle much worthwhile!

(Verse) We trudge along these crooked streets, Ignoring pain in search for dreams. Somehow, the sun begins to rise, As we grasp the truth with open eyes! (Pre-Chorus) What’s wrong with letting my worries disappear? I need to seize tomorrow without having to fear. (Chorus) Every morning of this brand new day, I need time to walk through life right next to your face All my roads will lead to you even if you’re dead and gone. But I need time to hold on to life, when I walk alone. (Verse) All our fights and things we hide, Our hearts are weakened from this strife, We grit our teeth and hold back grief In spite of all the pain I’d rather let it out today (Pre-Chorus) Released all my pride and still alive So we’ll embrace our lows but savor our highs (Chorus) (Piano Solo) (Chorus)
