The greatest thing in life I've ever heard Is when you said to me it doesn't hurt to take the chances life throws your way Now however, I have found my self surrounded by stones in the city Life refused to give me the chances I want to keep so I keep running away to hide from everything I don't like where I am right here right now I took the wrong turn on my way up Please stop telling me this is for me I didn't even know who I would be One minute I was there The next minute I'm here between here and there I think I've lost everything. Correct me if I'm wrong but was this a dream? I saw a shadow pass up the stream Her torch was burning bright like the Eternal flame She said "come this way a better life awaits" But like all the shadows her words were weightless And the flames became stone-like and lightless.

Still there'll be more chances....
