Time cannot measure a life
Never answers the ‘whys’
Only questions
Now when I think of today
I guess it all seems ok
As time taught me lessons

To love for I’ve found
And never look down
Though sometimes I fail to remember

I get angry now and then
When I forget myself
I get frightened 
When I think of me as someone else
Innocence is still within
Evergreen, but overgrown
It only happens when I’m here on my own

Here on this island alone
In an ocean I know
I feel like a castaway
So do I sink, do I swim?
Can I fight it within?
The strength that will teach me how

To love for I’ve found
And never look down
Though sometimes I fail to remember

I get angry now and then 
When I forget myself
I get frightened 
When I think of me as someone else
Innocence is still within
Evergreen but overgrown
It only happens when I’m here on my own

Time passes by without letting you know
Yesterday doesn’t seem so long ago
And I fear
I fear the unknown
When I’m here on my own

Here on my own

I get angry now and then
When I forget myself
I get frightened
When I think of me as someone else
Innocence is still within
Evergreen but overgrown
It only happens when I’m here on my own
