slid back and watched the year turn 
sat still walked through what i learned 
jerked tears then grinned to cheeks and yearned 

for what had been lost and what had been found 
tables turn when knocked down 
let's stand them upright and follow our sights 
to where we belong 

slid back and watched the year turn 
sat still walked through what i learned 
jerked tears then grinned to cheeks and yearned 

can't think of turning back clocks 
can't run for what has been lost and we 
can't sulk in what once drowned us cause we will drown again 

and cease to win the constant battles that we wake up with 
now stronger and warned we should live without scorn and renew what we can 

no year could cut us like that one 
and we don't sit and drown in wonder 
time passed we failed we crashed 
but who's to say we can't start over 

start now start right 
stay strong stay tight 
and we can live side by side
