Every moment seems to slip through our hands
For we could search every inch of these lands
Trying to find those times we have forever lost
Each instance a decision, each decision with a cost
Only understanding now the worst kind of choices
The ones we chose nothing at all, silencing our voices
Dooming ourselves to be a memory
Forgotten upon the wall of history
Never tried to reach for the sun
Ended ourselves before we had begun
Silence pouring from our mouths at the view of darkness
Cursing ourselves for every opportunity we managed to miss
Decided to step down rather than stand up against the fear
Living lives beside dying dozens, year after futile year
No one can wait until lightning strikes for them to take a chance
Rise from the sidelines, take a deep breath and join the dance
Locked from a brighter tomorrow, change is the only key
Our greatest choice, to fade upon the past or to paint a path towards victory
