We thought we had it all
All grown up inside our skin
Take a guess and mind your tongue 
Bring it on let love begin today

Life was never simpler than 
It was just another time
We tried to find convention without losing peace of mind

I measured time that summer
With songs and sets of strings
Duty seemed so far away
One more song before summer ends 

Season keep on measuring
The time we spend on Earth
None of that made sense back then
And no one saw the worth

Friendships come and love times flow
And we are all made of dust
The moment and the vision
Am I sure it’s what I really saw?

Years began to change like seasons in the field
The crops left they gave so much
Our time won’t last forever
No matter what we thought
And freedom can’t be bought

Looking in the mirror
We did the best we could
A bargain with the devil
Is always paid and then we run

Nothing was so real then
As waking up these days
And that was before me
Were scattered thoughts that circled around my mind

I had no vision
I was living inside a cloud
Inside then was more than God allowed

Then one day when all that passed
I’ve woken to myself
A thousand days had come and gone
And outside there was autumn in the trees

Each precious moment
Was a blessing in disguise
I never saw so clearly 
It was right before my eyes

Our time won’t last forever
No matter what we thought
And freedom can’t be bought

Looking in the mirror
We did the best we could
A bargain with the devil
Is always paid and then we run

I still see a moment that keeps living in my heart
I can turn my back on memories
They open all the doors that shield today
On a foundation we’ve been building since our youth
I got close and each friend grabbed me in truth
