I've lived my life beside an ocean   And every day I drown emotions with the tide   And no one's ever asked me why   Guess I'm silly to waste my time      I reach and stretch too far to measure   And I break myself to keep together all the time   It's a struggle to be kind   In a world that seems so blind      Before I grow too old to seize the day   Before I spread my wings and fly away   I'd like to get to see my heart at play   And see if love can't save the day   What if it's the only way   Can we save the day      Aside from my faith there is no glory   And aside from the truth there is no story anymore   We're all soldiers in the war   But tell me what are we fighting for      Feels like we've been here forever   As I break myself to keep together and apart   From a way that eats my heart   I don't know how it got so hard      Before I grow too old to seize the day   Before I spread my wings and fly away   I'd like to get to feel my heart at play   See if love can't save the day   What if it's the only way   Can we save the day
