A Fleeting Glance

Lyrics

Up until recently I have been alone
 Leading a tranquil life but never at home
 Something had changed and I turned to the wind
 That blew through me and told me, "How long? How long?"
 Silenced the voice of my heart now for years
 I was perplexed by a fleeting blank stare
 Biding my time until courage had build up inside me
 Then came clean, "Or am I wrong"
 ♪
 I spend all my days contemplating my will
 For the weak shall inherit the earth when it's still
 A govenment bid for my life
 I was sold as a cog in a machine, "I walk the line"
 ♪
 A fleeting glance again tells me everything
 Took a chance in vain, drown to a futile idea
 A pursuit of happiness as the storm rolls in
 An idol of helplessness, paved the way and then gave in
 ♪
 I met with my mother and I asked her why
 For ten years so more she would never reply
 Suddenly she said we are all born to die
 Gave me purpose, freed me, "How simple it can be"
 ♪
 But it's fading away from my mind
 There's another "me" waiting behind
 But it's fading away from my mind
 There's another "me" waiting behind
