Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somewhere life is good
And things go as they should
It's hard to find
But that's alright
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Searchin' for the way
Push harder every day
It's deep inside
That shining light
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
But I'm scarred
By barriers placed in my path
I'm scathed
[Verse 4]
This ride that takes me through life
Leads me into darkness
But emerges into light
No one can ever slow me down
I'll stay unbound
[Verse 5]
Sometimes when we're young
And always on the run
It gets so dark
And I know that place
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
So don't be too concerned
You got a lot to learn
Well, so do I
And we got plenty of time
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
Don't fall off the track yet
With so many races to go
Hold on
[Verse 8]
This ride that takes me through life
Leads me into darkness
But emerges into light
No one can ever slow me down
I'll stay unbound
[Verse 9]
Some live so wrong
With what we do is each his own
Livin' in fear
Endless shame for countless years
[Verse 10]
I never lived in fear
I knew I'd die another day
I never viewed my life as something
Slippin' away
[Verse 11]
Some live so wrong
With what we do is each his own
We're livin' in fear
Endless shame for countless years
[Verse 12]
I never lived in fear
I knew I'd die another day
I never viewed my life as something
Slipping away
[Verse 13]
There's nothing here to take for granted
With each breath that we take
The hands of time
Strip youth from our bodies
And we fade
Memories remain
As time goes on
[Verse 14]
There's nothing here to take for granted
With each breath that we take
The hands of time
Strip youth from our bodies
And we fade
Memories remain
As time goes on
