Every time I close my eyes
I hide behind the blackened lies
That follow me throughout my history

The lives I've touched, the things I've done

The things I know will never come
Get washed away in my happiness

And oh...
When you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life

And oh...
When you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life

Moving on was hard to do
To leave the things that I once knew
And childhood is the one thing that will come back to me

How can I sit idly by
Watching all these hours denied
My name is all I have for an offering

And oh...
When you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life

And oh...
When you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life

Don't take it don't feel it don't take it don't
Don't feel it don't take it don't feel it don't
Don't take it don't feel it don't take it don't
Don't feel it don't take it don't feel it don't

Oh...
Don't take for granted
