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

Childhood is the one thing

That won't 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

Built up walls that crumbled down

People marched and stood their ground

I saw it happen

It was part of me

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

(Oh) don't take for granted

(Oh) don't take for granted

(Oh) don't take for granted

(Oh) don't take for granted

(Oh) don't take for granted

(Oh) don't take for granted

(Oh) don't take for granted

(Oh) don't take for granted
