For so long now I\'ve been trying to sprint fast
Wanting to leave it behind and head toward tomorrow
But now that it\'s fading away, I\'m gripping my past
Hanging on to both the joy and sorrow, not letting go
All the abandoned memories wash upon my shore
Whether glass shards or seashells, each one I adore
As I am pulled away by the waves into the light
Either the calm before the storm or a whole new plight
This sea has cleansed my lies leaving me pure
No longer the same, no never again the same
Despite that, I\'ll grin through every challenge I have to endure
Steering through the rain beckoned to my aim
I\'ll embrace every scar and every tear
Live through each trial and face all my fears
Every moment that has passed, I\'ll remember
Even if they\'re only dying embers
The future starts now, I\'ll head in with delight
Enjoying the moments and surviving the night
