VERSE 2
Hung up cold and reeling
Wounded deep inside
Can't find a road to heal in
When you're blinded by your pride
The hour glass is broken
Sand is slipping through your hands
By your chasing what's been storing
Changes making, making other plans
CHORUS
Like the moth dances with the light
Sometimes a shadow burns too bright
Shattered silence in the night
You wake up, all gone
Times are changed, times that went too fast
Tearing moments from the past
While today's singing yesterday's songs
You wake up, move on
The 7 years gone

Time, time,
Time, time ticking,
Time, time ticking away
That's life
It's all about living
Taking it day by day
Blind, blind, leave it behind
Singing a different song
One day, you're waking up
You're seven years
Seven years gone
CHORUS
Like the moth dances with the light
Sometimes a shadow that burns too bright
Shattered silence in the night
You wake up, move on
Times have changed, times that were to last
Tearing moments from the past
While today's singing yesterday's songs
Growing up, holding on
The 7 years gone
7 years gone
7 years gone
7 years gone

Hung up cold and reeling

The hour glass is broken

Sand is slipping through your hands

By your chasing what's been storing

Changes making, making other plans
