Every time I close my eyes
I hide behind the blackened lies
That follow me
Throughout my historyThe lives I've touched
The things I've done
The things I know will never come
Get washed away
In my happinessAnd oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called lifeAnd oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called lifeMoving on was hard to do
To leave the things that I once knew
Childhood is the one thing
That won't come back to meHow can I sit idly by
Watching all these hours denied
My name is all I have
For an offeringAnd oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called lifeAnd oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called lifeBuilt up walls that crumbled down
People marched and stood their ground
I saw it happen
It was part of meAnd oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called lifeAnd oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called lifeOh
(don't take for granted)
Oh
(Don't take for granted)
Oh
(Don't take for granted)
