The Change

We live in an age of ruin
As our graves dig deeper with each passing day
I'm reminded of my careless youth and how it's come to pass
These hardships I've endured wont make me bitter
Mark my words
These are the desperate times
Push forward with the best of intentions
And take back what's mine

I'm trying so hard to be a better man
Breaking these chains and making my stand

This is the change that we must make in our lives
To progress is to open your eyes
Open your eyes
Nothing in this life is free,
Hard work and dedication are key
This is my life, you can't take it away from me
This is what I love, you can never take it away
