Why must i feel like this today
I'm a soldier but afraid sometimes
To face the things that may

Block the sun from shinin' rays
And fill my life with shades of grey
But still i long to find a way

So today i pray for grace

I take a moment to myself

So i can myself
To feel myself
And be real myself

Life's addictions and afflictions
Cause abrasions from their friction
Sometimes, it's easier to live in fiction

I can run, but i can't hide
From the pains that
Reside deep down inside

There is no pill
That can be swallowed
There is no guru

That can be followed
There's no escapin'
From my own history

Those that i hurt,
And those that hurt me
I was dead for a million years

'fore i was born and
I'll be dead for a million more
After i'm gone

So i live, to give somethin'
That can live on
Like the way you hum a song when the music's gone

Like the warmth on the sand
When the sun goes down
And i'm sittin' with myself

Nobody else is around but,

(chorus)


Been a long, long time
Since i been away

Been a long, long time
Since i felt this way
Been a long, long time

I found the words to say
How much i'm grateful
For my life today

'cause under every cup
You might find a nut
Behind every corner

You might get jacked up
At the end of every rainbow,
You might find gold

The last bite of your sandwich,
Hope you don't find mould
'cause none of us

Can live the perfect life
The kind that we see on nick at night
And sometimes, we all

Just lose sight
Of the pain that will guide us
From dark into the light

We fall down yes, but we get up,
And sometimes we just need
A little bit of love

To help make it
Through another day
Into the night, into the light,

Into a saturday
So in the morning when i'm waitin'
For the sun to raise

And my head's a little foggy
Like i'm in a haze
I remind myself that

Everything is gonna be okay
I take a breath, slow down and say...

(chorus)
