Sometimes I swear I fall asleep singing Songs in my head just to drive away the demons To push aside any negative feelings Can't even say what I dream Sometimes all I hear is that clock ticking I close my eyes and I find myself slipping Back tearing pages out this notebook Ripping them to shreds cause they don't say what I mean And then I take a deep breath Step back, relax I think about all the good times and laughs that I shared yesterday That I had today I'm so grateful cause I can say That I remember what it was like to not know peace Every waking moment a blur And I remember what it was like to not know love But now I receive what I return I remember what it was like to not know peace Every waking moment a blur And I remember what it was like to not know love But now I've returned Sometimes everybody gets caught wishing They had another life, had another mission They gotta make that incredible decision To trek along in service and light We all have to make the choice to rise above it It might be hard but grit your teeth and go and tough it out Scream and shout, do what you will but love it Cause this is our purpose in life So then I take a deep breath Step back, relax I think about all the good times and laughs that I shared yesterday That I had today I'm so grateful cause I can say I remember what it was like to not know peace Every waking moment a blur And I remember what it was like to not know love But now I receive what I return I remember what it was like to not know peace Every waking moment a blur And I remember what it was like to not know love But now I've returned I remember what it was like to not know peace What it was like to not know love What it was like to not know peace What it was like to not know love But now I've returned
