You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean
Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past
There's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a

week
And there's no promises of peace or of happiness



Well is this why you cling to every little thing
And polverize and derrange all your senses

Maybe life is a song but you're scared to song along
Until the very ending



Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know
Ideas that strengthen who we've been

It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our
minds
From the chains and shackles that they're in



Oh, tell me what good is saying that you're free

In a dark and storming sea
You're chained to your history, you're surely sinking
fast

You say that you know that the good Lord's in control
He's gonna bless and keep your tired and oh so restless
soul

But at the end of the day when every price has been paid
You're gonna rise and sit beside him on some old seat of
gold

And won't you tell me why you live like you're afraid
to die
You'll die like you're afraid to go



Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know

Ideas that strengthen who we've been
It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our
minds

From chains and shackles that they're in
From the chains and shackles that they're in



Well life is a dream 'cause we're all walking in our
sleep

You could see us stand in lines like we're dead upon our
feet
And we build our house of cards and then we wait for it to

fall
Always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all
