Lyric

The ties I left, the bonds I made

Pure and gentle dreams that never fade

Keep them all, so beautifully

Connecting past and future endlessly

Do you regret it?

Memories pressed down, too deep to move

Frozen in time, nothing to prove

I’m just a beggar

Ignored by everyone I meet

Kindness seems to fade with time

Memories vanish, yet scars remain

Body and soul, proof of the pain

Outside, the cheers remind me of friends’ smiles

“Thanks,” they say, and it stings all the while

The joy we had slips away like sand

Only obsessions stay in hand

Shouting at the past, demanding more

Why does it hurt, why is it so sore?

The ties I left, the bonds I made

Pure and gentle dreams that never fade

Keep them all, so beautifully

Connecting past and future endlessly

No, it’s different, nothing’s the same

The innocent me, do you remember my name?

I dreamed for others, spoke without shame

Maybe I was foolish, maybe insane

But here I stand, holding this baton

I’ll protect it, so smile on

Be proud, the truth blooms somewhere bright

A flower of hope, hidden in the night

I’m sorry, but I must run

Even if the ceremony is done

No more tears, no more pain

I’ll chase the goal, and take the baton again

The ties I left, the bonds I made

Pure and gentle dreams that never fade

Keep them all, so beautifully

Connecting past and future endlessly
