A year ago today
I was in a trench
As cannon fire filled the sky
We had to find a way
To join up with the French
Who fortified some ground nearby
Well, Freddy said to wait
At least until it's night
But we only had one working gun
With Germans at the gate
We had to move the fight
I made the final call: we'd run
So, we ran
As fast as we could through the rain
Through the wind
And the pain
On and on
As I ran
As fast as I could, I could swear
That my friends were all there
But they were gone
They were gone
And now it's been a year
I'm in another trench
Where the past and the future collide
I need a wheel to steer
Or even just to clench
And there's nowhere I can run that's fortified
It's ticking on and on
Time is a machine that never stops
But I can stop us all from what's ahead
I know what's "meant to be"
But if I do it differently
Then history will follow me instead
I can change
As much as I want, it's my call!
It's one chance
But it's all
That I need
And my friends will be fine
If I redesign
What fate had thought it guaranteed
I'm starting to see
What the future can be
And it's a future
Decided by me
The past is the past
But the future is free
And I'll fix it as fast
As I can!
