Lyrics
Verse 1
I sit and think about the questions, I have in mind
I reflect on all that's happened, in this paradise of mine
Still I know all the answers, will come to me in time
So I wait here so patiently for life to pass me by
Chorus
Cause here I stand, 17 miles from somewhere
Wondering if there's a better place to be
Oh I stand, 17 miles from somewhere
Hoping that my eyes will let me see
Oh but still I wait for somewhere to come to me
Verse 2
Oh I don't understand it, where have the people gone
Ya it seems that I am all alone, what did I do wrong
Must I walk this path this lonely road, singing one sad song
Oh I know I've had some ups and downs, but still I carry on
Chorus
Verse 3
I think I took life for granted, looking at my past
But I must complete the circle, ya this life that I have cast
Still I live one day at a time, from the first to the last
In this leaky boat I cross the sea, sailing at half mast
Chorus
As I listen to the sounds of silence, I still hear the sand
The hour glass is a little dirty, but I do the best I can
Ya I know sometimes I fall down, and I need a helping hand
Still I hope that somewhere up their, God still has a plan
Chorus
Verse 5
Now I look at the present, Im out of the cage
I've released all of my anger, I've released all of my rage
Still nothing can match the feelings, that I get on stage
Oh my whole lifes an open book, and I just turn the page
Chorus
