From coast to coast
Values of a family ran
From coast to coast
Seeking their wayward lead
Then journeys end into black
Letting nothing good come easy
So don't relax
Just take this serious and know
The first place we loved
Has finally let us go
Staring hard at what imprisoned us

Remember this scene because it smothered my heart
We will share this memory
Of those days that tore us apart
Now these eyes are to beaten to see
How worn this place has slowly become
All we had once now is gone
In time we might then see
All we have grown from
Carry this final walk softly
Every second is that one more

I've prepared for today carefully
And then I closed the door
Time then will see our gain
As faces change
Mouths of the unspoken
Speak words that say
I cross my heart
Just understand

We're subject to statistic
Just understand
With this test
We're subject to statistic
What does stand out
Is our change
Once we've left
And then when we miss it
