While There Is Still Time

Keep your head and hold the demons at the bay
 Walk the line, It's only ghosts of yesterday and you've got
 All the things you need and have been waiting for so long
 And what if you've been down and tripped along the way
 What's in the past it doesn't matter anyway, you've got to
 Build yourself anew and set out of the door once more
 All this time I've tried to hide
 In the dark where I've been waiting
 Like a neverending night
 In a pit where I have fallen
 I keep staring at the sky
 I'm so far and stars so blinding
 Can I crawl into the light
 While there's still time?
 Swim in the ocean 'til you lose sight of the shore
 Halfway the road you'll see the things worth fighting for, I wonder
 If it ain't too late to leave it all behind, I've tried
 Tired of running just to keep me on the wheel
 It's all pretending, rules are for bending, yet we
 Chase the carrots like the pack mules that we are, what for?
 All the time spent waiting absolutely hollow (Why can't I)
 Can't you see the cup's half full and more will follow?
