Sing for the Moment

We strike first, we'll never leave this place
Our scars are intertwined, with my head held high, a smile on my face
This place feels like home, it looks the same
But I don't care, I'll stand my ground and shout my claim
Tonight, I'll raise my glass my friends, to you
When I write songs, I get my inspiration from you!

Tonight, we'll see this world and won't look back
Our courage will replace the sense we lack
We move to better days, better ways
And replace these pages from our distance past
Rewrite them as our own

And we sing for the moments that make us pause
All self-critical, we get caught up in our flaws
I want to feel the wounds as fresh as scars
A silence that's unique ours and I'll head out on my way
To another winter's day

You look the same but the feeling's gone
You say you're doing well but I can tell something here is wrong
I said it's in your eyes, how they've lost their glow
Is there something about life you don't want me to know?
I want to feel it all, even the pain
I promise it won't be you who I'll blame

Tonight, we'll see this world and won't look back
Our courage will replace the sense we lack
We move to better days, better ways
And replace these pages from our distance past
Rewrite them as our own

And we sing for the moments that make us pause
All self-critical, we get caught up in our flaws
I want to feel the wounds as fresh as scars
A silence that's unique ours and I'll head out on my way
To another winter's day

Tonight, we'll see this world and won't look back
Our courage will replace the sense we lack
We move to better days, better ways
And replace these pages from our distance past
Rewrite them as our own
And we sing!
