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 descent. 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 touched I won't forget the life I know (Life) As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high (No, Oh) 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
