Seems that in the end
You say goodbye to all your friends
And all your thoughts and memories will fade away
When I'm old and grey I hope i'm not the last to stay
My mind can't carry all the way without a break
And in this blessed life I hope I love more than I fight
And show some kindness to this world every day
And in this test of time I hope this path I choose is right
And all my flaws and memories become my strength

So much pressure in perfecting perfection
Just suggestions to eliminate dejection
We won't lose control
In an age of material possession
Out of faith with the overall intentions
They can't rule us all

Cause right now is our time
Free the haste on the days left behind
Don't play back or rewind
Moving forward is the way to a new life
To balance the straight line
I'll look back on the ones left behind
And right then i'll be fine
Such an honor to have known them in life, in life
Well to have known them in life, in life, in life
If you walked a crooked line
And sought 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 some place that you'll 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 suggestions to eliminate dejection
We won't lose control
In an age of material possession
Out of faith with the overall intentions
They can't rule us all

I went 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 peak
To rock and roll is drifting slow and find me fine relief

Cause right now is our time
Free the haste on the days left behind
Don't play back or rewind
Moving forward is the way to a new life
To balance the straight line
I'll look back on the ones left behind
And right then i'll be fine
Such an honor to have known them in life, in life
Well to have known them in life, in life, in life
