I used to be so young and invincible
The mistakes of my youth are finally catching up to me
The face that stares back in the mirror should carry nothing but pride
As the days go by it's getting harder to hold my head up high

I've never been so tired, I've never felt so weak
But I swear to you, I swear to you that I'm not giving up
Never been so tired, never felt so weak
My storied life is coming to a graceful descend, descend

I've seen peace end and battles begin
I've seen peace end and battles begin, go

I won't forget the lives I've touched
I won't forget the ones I've loved

As the days go by it's getting harder to hold my head up high
As the days go by its getting harder to hold my head up high

I used to think I'd last forever
I used to think I'd last forever
I used to think I'd last forever
I used to think I'd last forever, forever

Now I'm praying for the light to just carry me away
I'm praying for the light to just carry me away

Say goodnight, say goodnight
Say goodbye, say goodbye
This is my time to be with my Lord
