from coast to coast   values of a family ran   from coast to coast   seeking their wayward lead   then journeys end into black   letting nothing good come easy   so don't relax   just take this serious and know   the first place we loved   has finally let us go   staring hard at what imprisoned us   remember this scene because it smothered my heart   we will share this memory   of those days that tore us apart   now these eyes are to beaten to see   how worn this place has slowly become   all we had once now is gone   in time we might then see   all we have grown from   carry this final walk softly   every second is that one more   I've prepared for today carefully   and then I closed the door   time then will see our gain   as faces change   mouths of the unspoken   speak words that say   I cross my heart   just understand   we're subject to statistic   just understand   with this test   we're subject to statistic   what does stand out   is our change   once we've left   and then when we miss it
