I woke up tonight
And found my hands useless
I woke up tonight
And found my hands useless
And it felt far away
With raging tides outside
That seeked to break the window panes
My throat is clutched tight
Perceptions dance in black and white
Searching for acquaintance in your name
Just don't choose these words
Never to be told
'Cause chances leave more quickly
Than you can regret
And someone will be thankful
Once these words are said
So I found you
With your head held high
With words I can't forget
With words I cannot hide
Dear father please have faith in me
I sure have done more things wrong than I've done right
But on that day
I will tell a story
Of friends and hardships worth
And if it takes a lifetime
For this to come true
Where would I be without you
Don't let me be mistaken
Just this once
We still got time
