Well there was a time when life caught you by surprise.   What you see going by is a shadow.   You've got to live in front of your eyes.   In a typical way we stray, checking back with the past.   In a typical day we'll stay to see what's gonna last.      But I didn't mind at all.      Well there was a place we'd chase through the woods in my juvenile days.   What a typical waste of space, what a wonderful place to stay.   But I could have cried but I just left my soul to fly.   And I could have chilled at will, but I didn't know how to die.      But I didn't mind at all.      No, I've been woken, and I have been broken.   But this time it's gonna change   For,   I've been crazy, and I been lazy.   Has been stolen   But from,      From this day on I swear to you true.   From this day on I swear to you.      Well there was a time when I could have flown out of the room.   Yet I didn't care just where I was going after noon.   Though I didn't know and I chose to live my life so fair.   And I could have died, but I chose to live here instead.      But I didn't mind at all      I've been woken, and I have been broken   But this time it's gonna change    For, I've been lazy and I have been crazy   But this time it's not hazy at all   Cause I've been,   I've been chosen my heart has been stolen   But from,      From this day on, I swear to you true.    From this day on I swear to you true.   I say now way back when you and all your friends   Had some good times we should do this again we'd say    Hey, hey, hey we should do this again, we'd say.   But in the mean meanwhile, I'll just walk the mile.   I won't look back won't forget your smile   Oh no, hey hey hey we should do this again, we'd say.   But I swear to you true.   From this day on I swear to you true I swear I do.      No. I won't give you back.   From this day on I swear to you true.    I swear I do.   God, I do.
