Music and lyrics by Steve Leonard
Here comes another day; tired of the static, nothing’s automatic
There is no telling how; the morning will unfold to a story untold
So you keep your head down; go about your way afraid just to look around
You looked away, it happened when you looked away
The clouds blew out to reveal sun
You looked away, it happened when you looked away
The kids were all having fun
while you began to come undone
know you’re not the only one
So get behind your plow; Cultivate your land any way you can
And when you’re hangin’ around; Bring it into focus when the words disintegrate to sound
You looked away, it happened when you looked away
The walls of time began to fall
You looked away, it happened when you looked away
The kids are no longer small
What once was false, now is true
What you did, isn’t what you do
Solo
So you put up a fight; Keep on pushin’ hard just to lose another yard
Just grab hold of now; yeah, it’s the only time that matters when the ladder’s only running out
Don’t look away, it happened when you looked away
a star was falling in the sky
Don’t look away, it happened when you looked away
The Royal Guard blinked an eye
The future has become the past
It once was slow but now it’s fast
No matter how the die is cast
Lightning wasn’t made to last
