Once Lyrics by Dustin Thomas

Across The Ocean

0

Once
I was driving
I let the world fall apart around me
I had given up on faith
I had given up on life
I was blind and behind
This was in the summer
Where summer light, war blinding
I was searching for a faith
I was having trouble finding
As tires spun and cried
Deluded so did I
But I kept driving
I kept driving

Once
There was a girl
Seven years old
Beautiful and wild
Chasing RC cars down the boulevard
In Pillager
A car came down the street
It stuck her
She flew fifteen feet
Landed on cold concrete
Her parents thought she died
She forgot three years of her life but survived
She survived

No
I don't know what happens in this life
I don't understand these times
But I try to get by and look up to the sky
And hope in time...
I can open my eyes

Can you explain that?
He's not coming home
Do you know that?

If you've given up on faith
If you've given up on life
Just keep trying
