Verse 1 The years move quiet through the cracks in the walls Stealing names from photographs and writing on us all I chased a thousand shadows down roads that disappeared Lost some things I needed, found some things I feared The world keeps turning whether we're ready or not Every dream we buried, every lesson life forgot And the moon still hangs above the fields we've left behind Waiting for the wanderers who run out of time Chorus So tell the truth before the silence takes your voice Love with all you've got and stand behind your choice Leave your footprints deep enough for someone else to see That you were here, that you were alive, that you were free 'Cause the clock won't wait, and the river won't bend We're all just passing through from beginning to end When the last light fades and the curtain finally falls I don't want regrets hanging on these walls Verse 2 I've seen strong men broken by the weight of what they hid And old ghosts growing larger than they ever really did I've watched people spend their lives waiting for a sign Only to discover they were running out of time So raise a glass to failures and the scars that still remain To every wrong direction and every kind of pain They carved the roads beneath us, they taught us how to stand Nothing worth remembering came from safer hands Chorus So tell the truth before the silence takes your voice Love with all you've got and stand behind your choice Leave your footprints deep enough for someone else to see That you were here, that you were alive, that you were free 'Cause the clock won't wait, and the river won't bend We're all just passing through from beginning to end When the last light fades and the curtain finally falls I don't want regrets hanging on these walls Bridge One day this house will hold another family These fields will know another name The wind won't care who owned the memories But the love we gave will stay Final Chorus So say the words you mean before they drift away Hold the ones you cherish while they're still here today Don't spend your life staring at doors you never tried Don't leave your heart locked up inside The clock won't wait, and the river won't bend We're all just passing through from beginning to end When the last note fades and the shadows fill the hall I want no regrets... No regrets at all.
