Holding by a thread
Cut the tether, float away
Drift and sway
See it all start to fade...
On your own it's been so long
Now you just don't feel as strong
Thought you had the strength to stand
All around you were outstretched hands...
When the lines were cast
There was nothing to hold you fast
The wind then took hold
And you lost all control...
Can you celebrate a victory
When it aches just like defeat
When every small advance
Feels like a great retreat?
Can you keep on moving forward
When every step causes you pain
When every fiber of your being
Struggles against the strain?
Holding by a thread
Cut the tether, float away
Drift and sway
See it all start to fade...
Can you celebrate a victory
When it aches just like defeat
When every small advance
Feels like a great retreat?
Can you keep on moving forward
When every step causes you pain
And every fiber of your being
Struggles against the strain?
Can you force out a smile
When you're too tired to act
When you realize it's over
And there's no more turning back?
Can you celebrate a victory
When it aches just like defeat
When every small advance
Feels like a great retreat?
Can you keep on moving forward
When every step causes you pain
And every fiber of your being
Struggles against the strain?
