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
