All of the miles before us unfold
Uncertainly leading to stories yet told
The pleasures and pains, the joys and the woes
Retreating and greeting wherever we go
The sun and the moon dancing by overhead
While we’re sleeplessly dreaming or resting our heads
Bringing light to the dark, bringing darkness to light
Sometimes chilling the day, sometimes warming the night
As we see what we feel, and we feel what we see
As we loathe what we have, and we want what can’t be
As we right ‘til we’re wrong, and we wrong ‘til we’re right
As we run from the battle, and rage in the fight
There’s not one of us perfect; not one of us made
To make all the right choices from birth to the grave
Sometimes we will conquer, and sometimes we’ll fall
Sometimes we’ll have faith, and sometimes we’ll lose all
But to lose is to win if we’ll learn from the past
Instead of retreating from shadows we’ve cast
Rising up from the ashes and shedding our skins
Though it feels like the end, it is where we begin
Finding strength in our weakness and knowledge in pain
As we unleash our courage, and fear we restrain
For the future’s unwritten…a past yet to be
And the only thing certain is uncertainty
