Lyrics
Riding on a Memory
I?ve been riding on a memory
I?ve been acting out a scene
A simple fantasy
That hides the truth behind a dream
I?ve turned myself into a cornerstone
Just a stand-in for your desires ?|
I choose a new part, I?m writing new lines
Setting my sights higher
I?m free, I hold the chains that bind me
I?m free, to have the strength you lack
I see, that though my knees are shaking
Every step I take is either forward or its back
I?ve been waiting on a miracle
I?ve been hoping for relief
I found that everything
Everything begins with my belief|
I?m still counting on a miracle
But it?s a miracle of my own
Where I walk forward into my life
And you stand up on your own
I?m free, I hold the chains that bind me
I?m free, to have the strength you lack
I see, that though my knees are shaking
This is a different kind of love
Then I?ve given in the past
It?s time to set sail
No matter how hard I have to tack
Every step I take is either forward or its back
