Every time I close my eyes 

I hide behind the blackened lies 

That follow me throughout my history 



The lives I've touched, the things I've done 

The things I know will never come 

Get washed away in my happiness 



And oh... 

When you feel stranded 

Don't take for granted 

This thing called life 



And oh... 

When you feel stranded 

Don't take for granted 

This thing called life 



Moving on was hard to do 

To leave the things that I once knew 

And childhood is the one thing that will come back to me 



How can I sit idly by 

Watching all these hours denied 

My name is all I have for an offering 



And oh... 

When you feel stranded 

Don't take for granted 

This thing called life 



And oh... 

When you feel stranded 

Don't take for granted 

This thing called life 



Don't take it don't feel it don't take it don't 

Don't feel it don't take it don't feel it don't 

Don't take it don't feel it don't take it don't 

Don't feel it don't take it don't feel it don't 



Oh... 

Don't take for granted
