Lyrics
I'm told it's time that I do what I do
So I'll collect my thoughts in black and blue
A new objective and a long way to go
I can't deny it now it's all that I know
It's never easy when you're on your own
I've got to find my way back where I belong
All of my life has been an open book
With all the pages torn so take a look
This is the first day of the rest of my life
A new perspective and a new lease on life
But it's time I got this off my chest
All that I can do is just my best
Maybe I will dream again
It's been so long I don't know when
Been so long since I've seen your face
I can't recall 18 years to the day
Last time I saw you was in my dreams
I know it's best that way I don't know what it means
