Take me back to the ocean shores, my wooden floors
We'd walk endlessly on those cracked cement roads
Sometimes I swear I'm hopelessly left to never be found
Choice is a blessed burden, we can't help but make a false move
Left to our own devices to cope with the way things are
Take these past ways as a lesson worth learning
Change priorities, maybe life is worth earning
We had no boundaries to how far our legs would walk
Until our tongues were too tired to talk
The world takes it's toll on those unaware
Loss is a turning page, a prologue to a life left unscathed
Hanging on to this strand of hope
to cope with the way things are
And all I can do is just try to stay alive
Take these past ways as a lesson worth learning
Change priorities, maybe life is worth earning
Never let time just pass you by, be conscious of those who stood by your side
Hold these beliefs close to your chest, and never forget dead or alive
And if I were to forget anything dear God let it not be that.
