It seems that in the end, you say goodbye to all your friends And all your thoughts and memories then will fade away And when I'm old and grey I hope I'm not the last to stay My heart can't carry all the weight without a break And in this blessed life, I hope I love more than I fight And show some kindness to the world every day And in this test of time, I hope the path I choose is right And all my flaws and troubled ways become my strength So much pressure in perfecting perfection Just a gesture to eliminate detection We won't lose control In an age of material possession Out of phase with the overall intentions They can't rule us all 'Cause right now is on time Free the haze from the days left behind Don't playback or rewind moving forward is the way to a new life To balance the straight line I look back on the ones left behind And right then I'll be fine Such an honor to have known them in life In light, in life To have known them in life, in light, in life If you walk a crooked line it's hard to leave a trail behind Except for those you did defy with your mistakes To understand the truth you must let go and live to choose Our options seem to disappear without a trace 'Cause down some winding road you'll find a place that you call home A drifter drifts until they stop and wanna stay In search of a good time can leave reality behind Blindly balancing the line for an escape So much pressure in perfecting perfection Just a gesture to eliminate detection We won't lose control In an age of material possession Out of phase with the overall intentions They can't rule us all I've been running all around with no purpose to me Still, I find the strength to pick me up onto my feet The golden road not just cold stone will lead me to my peace To rock and roll this drifting soul and finally find relief 'Cause right now is on time Free the haze from the days left behind Don't playback or rewind moving forward is the way to a new life To balance the straight line I look back on the ones left behind And right then I'll be fine Such an honor to have known them in life In light, in life To have known them in life In light, in life To have known them in life In light, in life To have known them in life In life, in life
