When all lights die and time still leaves you in wonder
Why it's a farcry from where you've been before
And when I reach out, you try to run but won't come closer
I wish we could ignore that nothing stays the same anymore
This time it's for the taking, in time new morning's breaking
Dance to the past it's dead and gone
(And gone, and gone, and gone now)
This is the new awakening for every truth that I seek
Sing to the past it's dead and gone
(And gone, and gone, and gone now)
Like the sunlight yesterday turns into shadow
That after midnight comes knocking at my door
If I could break out, could try to rise from undercover
I think we could ignore that nothing stays the same
This time it's for the taking, in time new morning's breaking
Dance to the past it's dead and gone
(And gone, and gone, and gone now)
This is the new awakening for every truth that I seek
Sing to the past it's dead and gone
(And gone, and gone, and gone now)
Up, get up, we fall and falter
On, get on to something better
Don't let the gravity pull you down, I said
This time it's for the taking, in time new morning's breaking
Dance to the past it's dead and gone
(And gone, and gone, and gone now)
This is the new awakening for every truth that I seek
Sing to the past it's dead and gone
(And gone, and gone, and gone now)
This time it's for the taking, in time new morning's breaking
Dance to the past it's dead and gone
(And gone, and gone, and gone now)
This time it's for the taking, in time new morning's breaking
Dance to the past it's dead and gone
(And gone, and gone, and gone now)
