Left their letters in the sand Such waste of life Dreams of freedom turned to dust how many wasted lives How many dreams did fade away Broken promises They won't be coming home Oh mothers wipe your tears

Got to live for today cause tomorrow ain't promised to me Don't just want a piece I want my whole destiny If you got it, I'm gone take it If you're in it, you're coming with me Bench warmers, get no playing time No sleeping til I cross the line, I'm

Don’t look back And don’t look back If I (if I), don’t make it back before the sun (the sun) All you have to do is run (run) Just promise me you'll run (run) And promise me you run I feel the night approaching The moon calling me Reluctant eyes have

I have opened my eyes to see to see the world the surrounds me daily I refuse to be led by the majority Can't compromise I and I To pass judgment Judgment will be passed upon you I will stand up for who we are Never moved by condemnation No one is placed

The scariest part is letting go 'Cause love is a ghost you can't control I promise you the truth can't hurt us now So let the words slip out of your mouth All of the lights land on you The rest of the world fades from view And all of the love I see

(Raise up to your ability) Focus on your ability Gain again what they want to steal Got shackles on my wings on tight Beggin' makin' compromise Fast enough it's hard to hide Sometimes I want to disappear Rise above gonna start a war Whatcha want whatcha

We're marchin' on Right, right, right, right, left There's so many wars we fought There's so many things we're not But with what we have I promise you that For all of the plans we made There isn't a flag I'd wave Don't care where we've been

What a way to go Twenty five years working for the state Saved all your money, got a good rate Always thinking 'bout that pension plan The day of retirement, the promised land, well Got a finish off that swimming pool Get some umbrellas, don't wanna be

Promise that you will sing about me Dying of thirst And its my turn to settle down My main concern When the lights shut off Dye your thirst How many sins? I'm running out You dying of thirst

If not now then when If now today then Why make your promises A love declared for days to come Is as good as none You can wait 'til morning comes You can wait for the new day You can wait and lose this heart You can wait and soon be sorry
