To turn back time Is not only impossible But a toxic delusion It's mistakes that make us change Not just me but all of us Have been stung by life's lessons A necessary pain To become the people who we are I will make amends This I swear I will not pretend From this day forward I won't accept ignorance is bliss I won't accept cowardice Face the truth or reap what you sow The mask you wear won't protect your soul Lay in the filth Your life's gone adrift Forging a bond with delusion and guilt The truth we all know But your vision blurred Claiming a martyr A lie so absurd I will make amends This I swear I will not pretend From this day forward A spoken oath Makes no sound A broken vow Echoes forever We all wander and fall Into life's certain mistakes Wondering what it will take To wash clean We all wander We all falter I will not let myself down I will not let myself drown I will not let myself down I will rise From this day forward
