"Same As It Ever Was" lyrics

Now is the time - was there ever any other?
Looking back at all we've wasted - one good thing that we've discovered
It's time to make up for all you've lost - years and friends that you can't get back
These things are gone forever- but memories never die

There's nothing stopping you now- there probably never was
You just had to get around - some things - same as it ever was
Takes all the strength inside you - just to make it through some days
You've got to own your scars - turn them into wings

Sing what you have to say - sing it like you have no choice
Play what you want to play - play it loud with your own voice

From the top of the mountain that you climbed
Let your song and your spirit fly
Like eagles and angels and ancient melodies
Let it sanctify your soul-like the first time that you heard rock and roll

Sing what you have to say - sing it like you have no choice
Play what you want to play - play it loud with your own voice

There's nothing stopping you now- there probably never was
You still have to get around - some things - same as it ever was

Same as it ever was - same as it ever was
Same as it ever was - same as it ever was
