lyrics

Just another day, bring on another day
Time is meant for change to the dreaming runaway
For now I lie awake in fear of my mistakes
Will this persuading world persuade me to its ways?

I look to mom whose saying goodbye to her last
A quiet house awaits with only memories of the past

And I don't know where my stepping stone may lay
Or if it's stairs into an office or the stairs onto a stage
But as I watch regrets and praises fall to place
I'll just smile and watch the world move at it's pace
Yeah, I'll just smile with sweet contentment on my face

A bittersweet affair, I don't know how to care
So I will just move on and hope to see you there
And looking back I'll grin, it's all it could have been
What would I do to live it all again?

Won’t you pave one last step for me?
Loosen the ropes around my wrist before I’m set free?
Turn me over to God, would that be okay?
He’ll untie the rest and let my arms be on their way
