Little boy lost
On an empty schoolyard
It's the end of ninth grade
Wondering how his life will pan out
Planning the great escape
Once in a lifetime
You'll know why
You were put here in the first place
When your ship comes in
You better be ready to ride those waves
Among the sailors and the hustlers
Until you get to your sacred place
What else is there to do
From here to the grave
Satellites watching from above
Everything we do
From a dark observatory
Someone will zoom in on you
And see your heartaches
Your hidden pain
As you smile along with your friends
Causing a battleground to recreate
Eden Knowing that its never too late
To just give up Lay down and die
Or finally getting saved
You're on your own now
From here to the grave
Every time you wake up In the middle of night
Wondering how, when, and why
You will see the light
Feel the weight on your back
From a million years of pain
You realize, though in doubt
Every minute counts
Once in a lifetime I understood why I was put here in the first place
So what else is there to do
But keep moving through
All the obstacles in our way
Im so grateful having met you
And I hope you feel the same way
'Cause Im gonna love you
From here to the grave
Every time you wake up In the middle of night
Wondering how, when, and why
You will see the light
Feel the weight on your back
From a million years of pain
You realize, though in doubt
Every minute counts
