A Thousand Lifetimes

(album: Ghost On The Canvas - 2011)

I've lived at least a thousand lifetimes
Walked down a road with no end in sight
I've seen miracles in moonlight
And lonely goodbyes

I've faced the consequence and sorrow
Still I stood up and faced tomorrow
I've had dreams I've feared and followed
I found my way home

I've held onto coal in my bare hands praying for diamonds
I've trusted in the words that to my face turned out were lying
I've trapped and I have tripped and I have loved and I've abandoned
Each breath I take
Is a gift that I
Will never take
For granted

I have washed upon the shore I've fallen, conquered demons
I've broken down and broken up without a rhyme or reason
I've held the ring of brass and many times smashed it to pieces
Each breath I take
Is a gift that I
Will never take
For granted

I've lived at least a thousand lifetimes
Walked down a road with no end in sight
I've seen miracles in moonlight
And lonely goodbyes

I've held onto coal in my bare hands praying for diamonds
I've trusted in the words that to my face turned out were lying
I've trapped and I have tripped and I have loved and I've abandoned
Each breath I take
Is a gift that I
Will never take
For granted
