Redemption
Woefully prepared
You wandered to the field
Yearning for the sights,
The sounds and of the feel
But a conscript of time
Begets a casualty of fate
And as bravely as you fought
You know it's much too late
It's much too late,
Ye-ah
It's much too late
Now you struggle to move but
Your thoughts are memories
Of all the times you failed
To live what you had dreamed
You can't re-live your past
You just live with what has been
Yet something drives you on
To keep changing who you see
And you're trying to become who
You think you should have been
Knowing that you're not
The man you'll need to be
For Rede-emption
For Rede-emption
Longing to fit in where
You learned you shouldn't be
Wisdom said to jump
Before you're pushed into the sea
But a wiser man swims on
Through that fading fairy's wake
For only a fool
Repeats their own mistakes
So you're trying to become who
You think you should have been
Knowing that you're not
The man you'll need to be
For Rede-emption
For Rede-emption
For Rede-em
For Rede-emption
For Rede-em
For Repe-emption
