Its been several years since Ive taken a happy breathe,
It seems all that was good in me has suddenly left,
Only a heartless man can take a life without feeling sorrow,
And only a lifeless man should worry about seeing tomorrow,
For as long as your alive, you have the power to change yourself,
And no matter the struggle you can fold the cards youve been dealt,
No one alive can tell you how to live your life, not ever the lord above,
You control your own destiny when push comes to shove,
Life is only temporary while death lasts forever,
So cherish the moments that you have together,

Im a long way gone from living a perfect life,
Im a long way gone from giving into the dark,
Im a long way gone from losing hope in the light,
Im a long way gone from disabling the spark,

When the time comes for us all to bow our heads,
And ask the lord to forgive our sins,
6 billion people will be conjoined hand and hand,
Regardless of the struggle between the lands,
Wars will be disregarded, arguments will be forgotten,
For the world we know is ending, but another one begins to blossom,
Life is one soul in the form of sorrow and scars,
But death is billions across the sky in the form of light and stars,

Im a long way gone from ending ones hate,
Im a long way gone from saving ones life,
Im a long way gone from changing ones fate,
Im a long way gone from stopping ones cries,

I don't know where i'm going in life, but I know I'm going somewhere,
I'm not afraid, because not knowing your future is everyones fear,
Now I know that when I shed a lone tear,
I'm not alone, because this is earth,
And we have oceans of them here.
