lyrics

It seems that in the end, you say goodbye to all your friends
And all your thoughts and memories then will fade away
And when I’m old and grey I hope I’m not the last to stay
My heart can’t carry all the weight without a break

And in this blessed life, I hope I love more than I fight
And show some kindness to the world every day
And in this test of time, I hope the path I choose is right
And all my flaws and troubled ways become my strength

So much pressure in perfecting perfection
Just a gesture to eliminate detection
We won’t lose control
In an age of material possession
Out of phase with the overall intentions
They can’t rule us all

‘Cause right now is on time
Free the haze from the days left behind
Don’t playback or rewind moving forward is the way to a new life
To balance the straight line I look back on the ones left behind
And right then I’ll be fine
Such an honor to have known them in life
In light, in life
To have known them in life, in light, in life

If you walk a crooked line it’s hard to leave a trail behind
Except for those you did defy with your mistakes
To understand the truth you must let go and live to choose
Our options seem to disappear without a trace

‘Cause down some winding road you’ll find a place that you call home
A drifter drifts until they stop and wanna stay
In search of a good time can leave reality behind
Blindly balancing the line for an escape

So much pressure in perfecting perfection
Just a gesture to eliminate detection
We won’t lose control
In an age of material possession
Out of phase with the overall intentions
They can’t rule us all

I’ve been running all around with no purpose to me
Still, I find the strength to pick me up onto my feet
The golden road not just cold stone will lead me to my peace
To rock and roll this drifting soul and finally find relief

‘Cause right now is on time
Free the haze from the days left behind
Don’t playback or rewind moving forward is the way to a new life
To balance the straight line I look back on the ones left behind
And right then I’ll be fine
Such an honor to have known them in life
In light, in life
To have known them in life
In light, in life
To have known them in life
In light, in life
To have known them in life
In life, in life
