Every time I close my eyes I hide behind the blackened lies That follow me throughout my history The lives I've touched, the things I've done The things I know will never come Get washed away in my happiness And oh... When you feel stranded Don't take for granted This thing called life And oh... When you feel stranded Don't take for granted This thing called life Moving on was hard to do To leave the things that I once knew And childhood is the one thing that will come back to me How can I sit idly by Watching all these hours denied My name is all I have for an offering And oh... When you feel stranded Don't take for granted This thing called life And oh... When you feel stranded Don't take for granted This thing called life Don't take it don't feel it don't take it don't Don't feel it don't take it don't feel it don't Don't take it don't feel it don't take it don't Don't feel it don't take it don't feel it don't Oh... Don't take for granted
