What was I but a glimpse of time A grain of hope caught in god's eye A young man's flesh driven by the heart An old man's soul torn apart As the night lights creep from the land of sleep I feel loss girdling round my tone way All the pains I've lived through And I live through still Recollections and scars left to prove My past was real All the pains I've lived through And I live through still Missing parts Broken pieces of me What was I but melodies and chords Pure emotions soaking words And a war drum beat syncing heart and feet On a march through expectancy's fields All the pains I've lived through And I live through still Recollections and scars left to prove My past was real All the pains I've lived through And I live through still Missing parts Broken pieces me All the pains I've lived through And I live through still Recollections and scars left to prove My past was real All the pains I've lived through And I live through still Missing parts Broken pieces of me
