Seems so long ago
So much we didn't know
Painting colors in the dark
Got above the crowds
Our heads up in the clouds
Running mazes through our hearts
When all our dreams felt like concrete
We couldn't be shaking
Then all around the world crashed down
And cracked the foundation
Clocks keep ticking
Everyone spinning
Life's a prize that we should be winning
Burn the forest they cannot fix it
Kill their roots cause they just don't get it
Time keeps ticking on
I run to you
...What we're made of
Staring at the glass
Trying to get a grasp
But I keep fallin out of reach
How did we get so lost
The lines we didn't cross
We were running towards a dream
The earthquake came
All that remained was broken up concrete
Walk the field, it left its scars on our bodies
On a cliff we're scared to fall off of
Trying to show the world what we're made of
On the edge and I just keep praying
We can build back up our foundations
Time keeps ticking on
I run to you
...What we're made of
This song brings me back to my youth--mid 20's--when I had an existential crisis. I had dreams of what my life would be like, but the world had other plans. I was so certain of my future, but my truth "foundation" got broken by the harsh world.
"When all our dreams felt like concrete
We couldn't be shaking
Then all around the world crashed down
And cracked the foundation"
Therefore, I had to reinvent myself. This song gives me hope by saying:
"On a cliff we're scared to fall off of
Trying to show the world what we're made of
On the edge and I just keep praying
We can build back up our foundations"
Take a chance... do something different... be brave.... Keep praying and reinvent yourself. You can't stop me now... etc.
