I've lived my life beside an ocean

And every day I drown emotions with the tide

And no one's ever asked me why

Guess I'm silly to waste my time



I reach and stretch too far to measure

And I break myself to keep together all the time

It's a struggle to be kind

In a world that seems so blind



Before I grow too old to seize the day

Before I spread my wings and fly away

I'd like to get to see my heart at play

And see if love can't save the day

What if it's the only way

Can we save the day



Aside from my faith there is no glory

And aside from the truth there is no story anymore

We're all soldiers in the war

But tell me what are we fighting for



Feels like we've been here forever

As I break myself to keep together and apart

From a way that eats my heart

I don't know how it got so hard



Before I grow too old to seize the day

Before I spread my wings and fly away

I'd like to get to feel my heart at play

See if love can't save the day

What if it's the only way

Can we save the day?
