lyrics

There was a time it seemed
of futures filled with dreams
A time of endless possibility
No need to even try
Satisfied to abide
No fear that life could pass you by

The future's in your face
maybe you should replace
Those against you in your final case
To prove you who you now are
and ascend to the wish
That I know you placed on a star

Some say complacency
As mobile as a tree
but you're not where you thought you'd be
A crossroad stares you down
in your makeshift town
but oh, may your choice resound
the echoes found in you
may your heart be true
and remove those who obstruct your view
when adding up the sum
You'll know that you have come
out of nothing into someone

Life often is a test
of who knows best
when the moment comes
when you're leaving from
places that you've known
seeds that you have sown
time to find out now
if you've really grown
into something more
than you were before
though it isn't safe
take a leap of faith
