Why must I feel like this today 
I'm a soldier but afraid sometimes 
To face the things that may 
Block the sun from shinin' rays 
And fill my life with shades of grey 
But still I long to find a way 
So today I pray for grace 

I take a moment to myself 
So I can myself 
To feel myself 
And be real myself 
Life's addictions and afflictions 
'Cause abrasions from their friction 
Sometimes, it's easier to live in fiction 
I can run, but I can't hide 
From the pains that 
Reside deep down inside 
There is no pill 
That can be swallowed 
There is no guru 
That can be followed 
There's no escapin' 
From my own history 
Those that I hurt
And those that hurt me 
I was dead for a million years 
'Fore I was born and 
I'll be dead for a million more 
After I'm gone 
So I live, to give somethin' 
That can live on 
Like the way you hum a song when the music's gone 
Like the warmth on the sand 
When the sun goes down 
And I'm sittin' with myself 
Nobody else is around but

[Chorus:]

Been a long, long time 
Since I been away 
Been a long, long time 
Since I felt this way 
Been a long, long time 
I found the words to say 
How much I'm grateful 
For my life today 
'Cause under every cup 
You might find a nut 
Behind every corner 
You might get jacked up 
At the end of every rainbow
You might find gold 
The last bite of your sandwich
Hope you don't find mold 
'Cause none of us 
Can live the perfect life 
The kind that we see on nick at night 
And sometimes, we all 
Just lose sight 
Of the pain that will guide us 
From dark into the light 
We fall down yes, but we get up
And sometimes we just need 
A little bit of love 
To help make it 
Through another day 
Into the night, into the light
Into a Saturday 
So in the morning when I'm waitin' 
For the sun to raise 
And my head's a little foggy 
Like I'm in a haze 
I remind myself that 
Everything is gonna be okay 
I take a breath, slow down and say...

[Chorus:]
