(claude s./paul rijnders/dania morales)
Every time i close my eyes,
I hide behind the blackened lies
That follow me
Throughout my history.
The lives i've touched,
The things i've done,
The things i know will never come,
Get washed away
In my happiness.
And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.
And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.
Moving on was hard to do.
To leave the things that i once knew.
Childhood is the one thing
That won't come back to me.
How can i sit idly by
Watching all these hours denied
My name is all i have
For an offering.
And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.
And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.
Built up walls that crumbled down.
People marched and stood their ground.
I saw it happen,
It was part of me.
And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.
And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.
Oh, (don't take for granted)
Oh, (don't take for granted)
Oh, (don't take for granted)....
