You were gone when we found you 
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped 
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold
When they saw the look of love in your eyes 

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad 
And everything else was part of the plan 
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here" 
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end 
And we all just idolize the dead 

So you were born, and that was a good day 
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

You had a love and that love had you 
And nothing mattered, you were fine 
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame 
They know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all 

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad 
And everything else was part of our path 
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here" 
This is the anthem, the slogan, the summary of events 
And we all just idealize the past 

So you were born, and that was a good day 
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad 
And everything else was part of the plan 
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here" 
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end 
And we all just idolize the dead 

So you were born, and that was a good day 
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end 
But we can't just get in line again
