Younger Days

When I was younger I dreamed of you
And for a time the dream came true
I tried to hold on but you slipped my grip
Reached out to hold your hand but instead I tripped
Younger Days. Younger Days
I wish I'd known better I was younger then
Some things are gone before they can begin
I tried to guard my heart but instead I cried
I had so much love that got trapped inside
Younger Days, Younger Days
When you came to me way back then, way back when, then never again
Back then I felt like never before
In your arms I laid down then you walked out the door
Younger Days, Younger Days

I wish I had said the things that I meant
I live with this night and day
I wish I had done the things I planned on
Before they were lost far away
I wish I had shown you the things that you wanted
I was scared I'd lose my way
Now those times are gone, long gone
'Cause I didn't say what I meant
Time is just out of reach
Time is creeping up on me
I wish I could practice what I preach
I wish time would just let me be
I wish I had gone where I was headed
The road slowly crumbled away
I wish I had known what I had become
Before I was lost far away
Time is just out of reach
Time is creeping up on me
I wish I could practice what I preach
I wish time would just let me be
I wish time would just let me be

Another day alone in this great unknown
I wonder who still knows my face
Far away tears dry and I wonder
Will tears cried keep me safe at night
I wander the streets while my family eats
Forgotten not gone, not a soul to lean on
Many years ago when my hair was still gold
I had a good job but those times are gone
A spell crept in, dimmed that light deep within
Since when's it a crime dying on the inside
No one stops, No one stares, No one sees, No one cares
We're here 'til we're gone. Move along, move along
Off far away in the dawn of the day
Only God knows the truth our hearts hold
When your tears run dry still I wonder
What you tell yourself to sleep at night
Grow toward the light or be swallowed by night
We're loved til we're not, but our love's all we got
Say a prayer for those that are left all alone
Hold your loved ones close so that they know

Woken out of a sleep, surprise
Lost another soul
Dig another hole
Fill a box with bones
All this time
Still the sun don't rise
For every eye
There's blood on the street
Death at our feet
I have a dream that there's no sleep
'Til every soul can live in peace
There's a fight in the street tonight
Everyone sends prayers
Everyone just stares
While the TV blares
Lies and lies
Time after time
It's by design
Anyone can see that everyone ain't free
We all wanna be free
We all wanna go home
Do the things that we do
Love the ones that we love
Looking out at a world on fire
Don't look away
Nobody's safe
Til we're done with hate
Old cornerstones
Bad to their bones
The sooner they go, the less they grow
Still have a dream that there's no sleep
Til every soul can live in peace
We all wanna be free
We all wanna go home
Do the things that we do
Love the ones that we love
