By the time you read this... I will have faded and frayed Gone and decayed Like pencil on paper I've been erased By the time that you read this You may be afraid Of what they may say But don't be ashamed By the time that you read this I know you'll be grown I know you'll be changed Yet... Deep down I know you're the same By the time that you read this I'll have hoped and have prayed... That you became your own person Not just a slave By the time that you read this I hope you'll be proud... Of the life that you’ve made Now that you're reading this I'd just like to help you remember I'd just like to help us and convey We had a dream once The world was something we'd change But now it's just you I've been away Now... It's just you By the time that you read this... Ten years have gone by Since I promised I'd stay
