In a world full of pretty things   You carry out only what you bring in   Square your shoulders   Lift your pack   And lay your feet back down on the track      This is the part where you may want to give in   And I will remind you that we both once said   We were born to stumble and to learn   In a stardust covered universe   We demand the impossible   And tomorrow is earned      Empty apartment, rumbling trains   Eastside village looking good for its age   An ounce of pleasure so quickly became   Another morning with a pound of pain      This is the part where you will say nothing's wrong   I will remind you that you will be strong   We were born to struggle and to yearn   In a stardust covered universe   Where you will find troubles   But you will not be the first      As you travel the white line, stripping the gears   Eyes on the dashboard, hands on the wheel   Running away like you do   You've got to slow your engines   When God is in pursuit      Under a streetlight I call your name   It's only darkness, it's not that late   Now stop your sleeping, pull the blinds   And pour your future in this cup of mine      This is the part where you will dig your heels in   And build a tower where your sadness is   You were born, and soon you will return   From a stardust covered universe   Where the end is certain   But it will not be rehearsed
