Same As It Ever Was

[Intro 1]
Now is the time
Was there ever any other?
Looking back at all we've wasted
One good thing that we've discovered

[Verse 1]
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

[Intro 2]
There's nothing stopping you now
There probably never was
You just had to get around some things
Same as it ever was

[Verse 2]
Takes all the strength inside you
Just to make it through some days
You've got to own your scars
Turn them into wings

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Organ and Guitar Solos]

[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo]'

[Outro]
There's nothing stopping you now
There probably never was
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
(Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
(Same as it ever was, same as it ever was)
