Today my mind went wild
It took me back to being a child
I saw how innocent I really was
Held back and restrained from my wars
I remember my soul being taken
As if it got abducted by an alien
To think how lost I was back then
Torn and shattered at the age of ten
My father said I could be anything
At the time I felt like nothing
I felt the world had something towards me
And wanted to just replace me
At almost 26 I’m beginning to realise
The lifetime of tears that someone cries
I’m yet to venture out in the open
Because every dream ended up stoppin’
I’m no preacher, I’m no saint
But I feel my body’s got a restraint
From being like a fish in the open sea
Or leaving contrails behind me
Only now knowing the amount of change
And everything I’ll need to arrange
My near future’s dependent on me
I guess it’s time to start getting ready

At almost 26 I’m beginning to realise
The lifetime of tears that someone cries

But I feel my body’s got a restraint
From being like a fish in the open sea
Or leaving contrails behind me
Only now knowing the amount of change
And everything I’ll need to arrange
My near future’s dependent on me
