Forerunner

Didn't mean to bring the rain
Left so many stories on the road
And I'm getting old
Memories, they are fading away
A message in the dark
No one to carry it along

Run, let them know
Dreams don't last for long
These times erase
All that's said but not what's done

Now I listen to the waves
Crashing onto the shore
To know which way to go
For our time is short
No one will tell me who I am
Or know who I was

Am I giving every day
To my last day?
What freedom is this?

Run, let them know
Dreams don't last for long
These times erase
All that's said but not what's done

Outside the answers fall as the questions rise
Don't try to wake up those who pretend to be asleep
When you see the beauty of what was already there
Keep looking through this newfound world
