River Drift

It seems that in the end, you say goodbye to all your friends
 And all your thoughts and memories then will fade away
 And when I'm old and grey I hope I'm not the last to stay
 My heart can't carry all the weight without a break
 And in this blessed life, I hope I love more than I fight
 And show some kindness to the world every day
 And in this test of time, I hope the path I choose is right
 And all my flaws and troubled ways become my strength
 So much pressure in perfecting perfection
 Just a gesture to eliminate detection
 We won't lose control
 In an age of material possession
 Out of phase with the overall intentions
 They can't rule us all
 'Cause right now is on time
 Free the haze from the days left behind
 Don't playback or rewind moving forward is the way to a new life
 To balance the straight line I look back on the ones left behind
 And right then I'll be fine
 Such an honor to have known them in life
 In light, in life
 To have known them in life, in light, in life
 If you walk a crooked line it's hard to leave a trail behind
 Except for those you did defy with your mistakes
 To understand the truth you must let go and live to choose
 Our options seem to disappear without a trace
 'Cause down some winding road you'll find a place that you call home
 A drifter drifts until they stop and wanna stay
 In search of a good time can leave reality behind
 Blindly balancing the line for an escape
 So much pressure in perfecting perfection
 Just a gesture to eliminate detection
 We won't lose control
 In an age of material possession
 Out of phase with the overall intentions
 They can't rule us all
 I've been running all around with no purpose to me
 Still, I find the strength to pick me up onto my feet
 The golden road not just cold stone will lead me to my peace
 To rock and roll this drifting soul and finally find relief
 'Cause right now is on time
 Free the haze from the days left behind
 Don't playback or rewind moving forward is the way to a new life
 To balance the straight line I look back on the ones left behind
 And right then I'll be fine
 Such an honor to have known them in life
 In light, in life
 To have known them in life
 In light, in life
 To have known them in life
 In light, in life
 To have known them in life
 In life, in life
