Lyrics

Feels like I've lived a million lives
Never have I given up the fight
From a young one hopeful, now my body is broken
It feels like I've lived a million lives
Nobody knows where the roads will take you
Sometimes it seems so hard to know the truth
And time ain't a friend, it takes everything
In the end
It feels like I've lived a million lives
So many faces, they come into my mind
Like pearls in the sky, they never fade, never die
It feels like I've lived a million lives
Snow white blossoms turn to colors of the fall
Chapters grow longer as the pages tumble and turn
So many roads I've taken, words unspoken
The stars tell the stories of you and I
It feels like I've lived a million lives
Now it's time for my soul to take flight
All my heart is craving, a peaceful haven
It feels like I've lived a million lives
All the glitter and the gold never spoke to me
All I ever wanted was to feel alive
To love and be loved, how much more can we ask
And the strength to get up after every fall
It feels like I've lived a million lives
Into the ground, the shell I leave behind
For this body I was grateful, but I'm returning to my maker
It feels like I've lived a million lives
Every moment of the madness, scattered into pieces
Fireflies lost in the night
But my heart is still burning, for that home I'm yearning
A place that I dreamed of but never ever seen
It feels like I've lived a million lives
And all this time I've come to realize
Being a grateful servant is the greatest purpose
No one will, he's always by my side
All the things we call, get bended and broken
Stretched across the passage of our lives
Decades of emotion, take their place demoted
Strands of every memory I ever had
Feels like I've lived a million lives
So many dreams I had when I was a child
It don't work out the way you want it
Just surrender right on through it
It's only God who holds the master plan
My weather-rancled skin covers aching bones within
Doesn't show you who I was or where I've been
So many stories I could tell, if someone were to listen
I think of all the wonderful things I've seen
All along I've always had to be strong
But now I'm letting go
It feels like I've lived a million lives
Never have I given up the fight
From a young one hopeful, now my body is broken
It feels like I've lived a million lives
