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
