Jubilation -

Every time I close my eyes

I hide behind the blackened lies

That follow me Throughout my history

The lives I’ve touched

The things I’ve done,

The things I know will never come

Get washed away

In my happiness

And oh, when you feel stranded

Don’t take for granted

This thing called life

Moving on was hard to do To leave the things that I once knew

Childhood is the one thing

That won’t come back to me How can I sit idly by Watching all these hours denied

My name is all I have

For an offering

And oh, when you feel stranded

Don’t take for granted

This thing called life

Built up walls

That crumbled down

People marched

And stood their ground

I saw it happen

It was part of me And oh, when you feel stranded

Don’t take for granted

This thing called life
