In quiet hours, awake I listen to each you take And I what you dream about
How far come Since we young Our preconceptions now So I wonder what you dream
In mind I might be Pushing things to greater But Icarus, the flames are real And dreams turn nightmares
I know my wings might once up in the sky But I want to fall, I want to fly
I never saw myself as one who went the lines Our life's momentum takes us, and in an instant it's us
It's sacrilege to take advantage of the But what about uncertainties that to cloud our mind? If our perception us to go astray, Who can help us try to our way?
I never saw myself as one whose life was a race out of control But in the I see the lines grow deeper on my face
It's sacrilege to take of the blind But what about uncertainties work to cloud our mind? If our perception us to go astray, Who can help us try to our way?
When I look back on all that's When I back on choices I have made Should I regret the contours of my The broken that I have paved?
We're only given so many sunny days We're only given so much time to a life Our all along the way construct a maze And when our is up we could be trapped inside Lost in and never to return
While we are building, tearing down or plans The days are vanishing, the world won't to turn Choices have consequences, limiting our And yet the weight of outcomes be discerned Make wisely, child
It's hard to look around me now at I have And not contentment from it all Dreams made real, and the future unforeseen has played out But is contentment the of growth? Could I have overlooked what might have mattered
You must have something else when you were younger You must have been something else when you free When all that you had was time and the world of choices was And you me You have been something else when you were younger You have been something else when you were free When all that you had was and the world of choices was yours
We spend half our lives repairing bridges that our actions helped destroy But it's still so hard for us to recognize that a is such a fragile toy We spend half our lives making disguises; we perfect and use them as our Then all of our remaining years searching for someone we cannot fool
At day's end throw out our disguises with nothing to defend At day's end we'll pick up all the and learn to live again
When you look back on all happened, would you do it all again? That's the honest measure of our Knowing then you know now, would you choose me once again? the question carrying most weight at day's end
I know my wings have faltered up in the sky But even if you're falling, still time to fly And looking with dispassion at the choices I made I it's self-defeating to carry regret unto my grave
I know that a reason why my road returns to you And why, despite the obstacles we had to fight through We both have had our doubts, but I think we know it's you remain the best of me, and I the best of you
And all our struggles, and every time cried They're meaningless in our embrace 'Cause still standing, and nothing can prevail Against a love meant to be
At day's end we put down our disguises with to defend At day's end we up all the pieces and learn to love again
