25

In the springtime of seventeen
I saw things I thought I'd never see
In my lifetime, now I dream
Of what I swore I once would be
Funny how life took the pilot's seat
When least expected, it swept me away

In the nighttime of twenty-three
I saw things I thought I'd never see
In my lifetime, now I'm wondering
What life would look like, had you and me
Kept every promise, only were honest
Honestly, I wonder where we'd be

But this is where I am now
This is where I made my home
And this is where I landed
No more going back
So I'll stay here, build a fire
Lie awake and pray to God
For strength to carry on

In my year of twenty-four
I saw things I thought I'd never see
In my lifetime, now I sing
And most my songs are lyrically
Inspired by the times we had
And times we never got to see
And I grieve

In this moment of twenty-five
Here's a snapshot photo into my life
I grew up fast and grew up wise
It hit me hard like a punch in the eye
If you just want a simple life
Then good luck, baby, go ahead and try

But this is where I am now
This is where I made my home
And this is where I landed
No more going back
So I'll stay here, build a fire
Lie awake and pray to God
For strength to carry on

Hey, hey
Hey, hey

My dear, my dear
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
My dear
Where do you take your heart
When all that once was clear
Is no longer clear?

This is where I am now
This is where I made my home
And this is where I landed
No more going back
So I'll stay here, build a fire
Lie awake and pray to God
For strength to carry on
Hey, hey

This is where I am now
This is where I made my home
And this is where I landed
No more going back
So I'll stay here, build a fire
Lie awake and pray to God
For strength to carry on

Hey, hey
Strength to carry on
Hey, hey
Strength to carry on
