Never put the past to bed
And never found a place of rest maybe
Some other time

Though you gave your very best
You left behind such an empty nest those times
Were not too kind

The flowers would explode in bloom
But somehow our weeds pushed through maybe
It was not our time

And sunshine would always come
To cast the shadows we were running from those times
Were never kind

A porcelain fragile hope
So beautiful that we broke maybe
Some other time

To the bruised boys and girls
Yearning for a better world these times
Are never kind

Your heart of skin and bones
Hungers with a raging glow this time
Could be your time

So I send goodwill to you
Tides are turning but rising too it's time
Do or die, to shine
