Every time I close my eyes 
I hide behind the blackened lies 
That follow me throughout my history 

The lives I've touched, the things I've done 
The things I know will never come 
Get washed away in my happiness 

And oh... 
When you feel stranded 
Don't take for granted 
This thing called life 

And oh... 
When you feel stranded 
Don't take for granted 
This thing called life 

Moving on was hard to do 
To leave the things that I once knew 
And childhood is the one thing that will come back to me 

How can I sit idly by 
Watching all these hours denied 
My name is all I have for an offering 

And oh... 
When you feel stranded 
Don't take for granted 
This thing called life 

And oh... 
When you feel stranded 
Don't take for granted 
This thing called life 

Don't take it don't feel it don't take it don't 
Don't feel it don't take it don't feel it don't 
Don't take it don't feel it don't take it don't 
Don't feel it don't take it don't feel it don't 

Oh... 
Don't take for granted
