Weary Wonder

There's a faithful laugh and a simple smile
When time stands still, it stretches a mile
In shadows of the future, reflections of the past
Sometimes all we want is for the wanting to last

Some things change, and that's okay
'Cause while others may stray, another will remain
And even if you don't know the game
You got time to learn, and you got time to play

But if there was a way to step back in time
I wouldn't change you, and I wouldn't change my mind
'Cause you gave me hope in a world full of lies
In this world of weary wonder, where went the light?

There's hungry heart and a constant cry
When the jury's hung and the well goes dry
A scream to the stars, not all will be heard
Is it only when it hurts, the lesson is learned?

Smooth sailing, but it'll be rough
Sound of old footsteps no longer loud enough
It's a whimper in the wind when times get tough
You don't know the truth, and you don't wanna bluff

But if there was a way to step back in time
I wouldn't change you, and I wouldn't change my mind
'Cause you gave me hope in a world full of lies
In this world of weary wonder, where went the light?

There's a way to walk and a way to run
Fate's got the bullet, and you got the gun
When it's all for not or a shot in the dark
Lest you forget, it all starts with a spark

Sincerity, the louder the plea
I have no toil with danger, yet it toils with me
So someday maybe you will see
You can brace for the pain, just don't forget to breathe

But if there was a way to step back in time
I wouldn't change you, and I wouldn't change my mind
'Cause you gave me hope in a world full of lies
In this world of weary wonder, where went the light?
