[Verse 1]
Welcome back, we've turned the page
On this open book we call change
All this to bring the memories closer
But what exists beyond words
Those that were left unspoken
Now flood the page unbroken
[Chorus]
Try to hide in some shuttered world again
And find it hard to align loss with win
All this leads to indecision
One more way to sow division
It's not the end, there's a long, long way to go
[Verse 2]
Time won't wait for anyone
And as the days go racing forward
Look back, it's almost over
[Chorus]
Try to hide in some shuttered world again
And find it hard to align loss with win
All this leads to indecision
One more way to sow division
It’s not the end, there's a long, long way to go
[Bridge]
Ahead of me I see the days
Where things were never meant to stay
Look back and inwards
What was left inside?
Oh, I've sacrificed, I laid it down
Uncertain of the future
Still I take another step for now I know
That I am home
[Chorus]
Try to hide in some shuttered world again
And find it hard to align loss with win
All this leads to indecision
One more way to sow division
It’s not the end, there’s a long, long way to go
[Outro]
To go

It’s similar to “The Destination Onward"—you know what’s coming, you know what the reality is of things, but you deny what’s going...
