lyrics
Verse 1 (Freddy):
Long for the days before the malaise/
Before the unaffordable payment rates take shape/
Before the keep the pace, kept the peace was the state/
Was appeased and dreaming big was playing safe, dreaming bigger shaped my days/
What a waste some would say, get away from the rays/
And join the day to day, mundane commonplace/
They told me you’re too different to be a shape/
We’ll fit you in a box give you a cube, and a suitcase/
Not asleep not awake, face to face with second rate/
I’m ashamed of the weight of my state in this race/
Yet cannot get away from the way you proclaimed/
Far more for my fate in my faith/
Set apart you would say/
It’s a way of life not a saying to display in a case/
What a waste, to chase all of my days away/
While letting my dream become another case of the Mondays/
Chorus 2X:
HEY… although I fell on my face/
It fell into place, look I dwell in this place/
Made a well of mistakes, yet enveloped in grace/
I developed this taste for this wonder amazed/
Verse 2 (Tony):
You said “Write Tony”, I said “Alright” only/
If I would’ve heard when You said “Let me guide, Tony”/
I stole the pen, ink soaked, soul leaked, I free wrote/
But woe is me, I wasn’t all that free though/
See though I can write it doesn’t mean I write well/
That all depends on the story I tell/
Truth is vital I met You in denial/
Turned my world upside down and now I’m hanging from the tiles/
And I like it more, if I was walking upright before/
It doesn’t measure to the heights I soar/
Gravity tries to immobilize the force/
But I was born to defy it like a pilot with a score to settle/
I’ll never settle for less than the best/
Through death to the flesh, I’ll live like the Testament says/
There’s no need to wonder You’re/
The Author of the book go and take Your Pulitzer
Chorus 2X:
Last Verse:
(Freddy):
But alas you wait, with a plan to make/
A man of me, a man to make/
A noise in the void there’s so much at stake/
Live the dream while I’m awake as a means to display/
How a mighty God can make a mighty statement/
With a lowly man with his knees to the pavement/
I wondered why before why my years were wasted/
But I’ve tasted and seen what’s to come today I’m tasting/
(Tony):
The Lion’s pride, pried from the bite of/
The lifeless unrighteous man that I’ve been/
That’s why I write this like life’s on the line/
Cause life’s in these lines, so dive into the vibe/
Get soaked, we all thirst, seeking to find this/
Meaning of life it’s, bleeding us dry it’s/
Worth all time it’s, making us timeless/
There is no last song we write when we write beyond time’s grip!
