Thinking of how he lived
While burning down the bridge
To what was built before him, the doubt set in
What had we been following?
The thought of being brave
Through future hours had started to fade into
The fear that knowing what's right was weighing us down
Taking what we could know
In bringing it back home
We only showed the scars that the lesser known
Would be claiming as their own
But the threat of slowing down
Only made strong his resolve for the modern world
To fill the hole in our lives by covering ground
In ways we couldn't define
What began as right made it's slow decline
Confessing years fell upon the ears of the children
But closing in on the end, they wouldn't defend him
They only saw that he'd gone too far
Say a warm hello to the welcome unknown
As hours fall by the wayside
But the threat of slowing down
Only made strong his resolve for the modern world
He said we're losing our minds
In ways he couldn't define
But we know that all we're leaving behind is only a name
In bringing it back home
Relations were reborn
But the fear of losing faith was continuing to grow
Into fear of losing life
He disrupted what was right
By rejecting what we'd known
It's what I see when I'm going home
While burning down the bridge
To what was built before him, the doubt set in
What had we been following?
The thought of being brave
Through future hours had started to fade into
The fear that knowing what's right was weighing us down
Taking what we could know
In bringing it back home
We only showed the scars that the lesser known
Would be claiming as their own
But the threat of slowing down
Only made strong his resolve for the modern world
To fill the hole in our lives by covering ground

What began as right made it's slow decline
Confessing years fell upon the ears of the children
