I, once upon a time Carried a burden inside I sung a last goodbye A broken rhyme I had underlined There's an ocean of sorrow in you A sorrow in me I saw a movement in their eyes That said I no longer knew the way I had given up the ghost A passive mind submit to fear And the wait for redemption at hand Waiting to fail Failing again If death should take me now Count my mistakes and let me through Whisper in my ear You have taken more than we've received And the ocean of sorrow is you
