How do we go on
Living with all we’ve undone
The good, the bad
The half-assed, the well done
Can we survive
Past all the lies and half-truths
Everyone is another person’s ghost
Haunting one another with our past lives
When I go to bed
I think about what could have been
Change this all around and start again
But there is no going back
It all happened and there's no take backs
I’ll live with what I’ve done and face the facts
Everything is undone
Hey now we might find a better day now
One foot in front of the other
Hey now we might find a better day now
One hand stretched to another
It’s easy to assume
That we’re all doomed
Just watch the evening news
We should hate everyone
The days of our lives
Passing us by without even a try
Looking behind us for something that has passed
Or some brighter future and greener grass
Fairy tales and lofty dreams
That we could all somehow turn this doomsday around
Our fears and shame
seem to be what drives this charade
Time to face ourselves and tell the truth
Everything can come back
Hey now we might find a better day now
One foot in front of the other
Hey now we might find a better day now
One hand stretched to another
With our hands stretched out to others
With our prayers lifted for one another
With our love the same for others
With our care welcoming for another x2
Hey now we might find a better day now
One foot in front of the other
Hey now we might find a better day now
One hand stretched to another

I’m shocked with all of my grief
It seems to cut so deep
The absence of you
Doesn’t seem to go
And it hurts to think of you
There's no moving on
You’ll always be
A part of me
I long for one more day
But I’ll embrace
The memories your love made
I’ve cried all I can cry
Nothing left to hide
This hole in my heart
Doesn't seem to stop
And it hurts to remember you
There's no moving on
You’ll always be
A part of me
I long for one more day
But I’ll embrace
The memories your love made
So when I think I’ll break
Nothing more I can take
Memories of you
They heal this open wound
And a smile comes upon my face
There's no moving on
You’ll always be
A part of me
I long for one more day
But I’ll embrace
The memories your love made x2

So hold on
In this life
To what's of value
Worth your time
Cause someday
You'll be forced to
To let go of
All that surrounds you
Cause we are
All speeding
Towards the same final ending
So focus
Your life on
Something precious
Something with meaning
I can’t and I won’t
Be inspired by hate
Don't wait, hesitate
There is so much to say
Just love
So go live your life
And never think twice
Have some faith, grow in grace
Believe with all your might
Stay true
Don't run off in the night
Thinking something in spite
Learn to say what you mean
Care for someone without means
Believe
So hold on
In this life
To what's of value
Worth your time
Cause someday
You'll be forced to
To let go of
All that surrounds you
Cause we are
All speeding
Towards the same final ending
So focus
Your life on
Something precious
Something with meaning
Just love
Stay true
Believe
