Most of all it's strange It's an alien exchange And I feel it around me The sentiment is growing I hear it all from passing stories Forgotten glory from days of youth And what numbers of heat the sun brings And all the birds sing a song about the oddities A careful tale of memories And there's a hidden gem inside all that is You should really listen All the beauty is in the fine print Displayed in ultra-violet A trick of light Horizons scanned by concrete eyes But see I don't mind to take some time There's no need to define It's my life's devotion to stand strong and trust the motions There's a hidden gem inside all that is I try not to worry how full my glass is In face of all my accomplishments it's only now that's relevant And today I shook hands with all this life has thrown my way I couldn't always find the strength and that's okay My hands steady with this blade And today, today, today, today my fears running away This day is mine I see it changing shape within and feel the powers in my hands expand
