Lyrics and translation
Original
It's a long way up from rock bottom
There's been times I felt I could fall further
I have loved and lost and feared and prayed
But now the day bursts wild and open
I have cried tears at my brother's grave
I have shaken hands with my wife's surgeon
I spent weeks inside the darkest cage
But now the day bursts wild and open
There's a time to cry, there's a time to fold
There's a time for holdin' on but then let it go
There's a time to run to the arms of hope
And the day bursts wild and open
I was raised by the church
Quiet boy, still far from fizzlin'
Not the pop star they say they prefer
Kept quiet, but I came to be heard
Been a long time on top, but I ain't complacent
If I look down, I can see replacements
Late-night drive and my heartbeat racing
Gotta make dreams and chase 'em
Takin' my fair share of that ridicule
But the words are not applicable
Catalog formidable, me and that guy are in a different place
Undefeated, but that's tempting fate
Two of them tried, but I won both cases
Won't get back all the time they've wasted
I am not losing steam
In this world, there's no relaxin'
I've been here since migraine skankin'
Never been cool, but never been a has-been
I kept on your couch if you knew me back then
Go tell 'em bout the walls you're trapped in
Gotta keep this Usain pace
Don't ask me how to I got break
I built my own brick through constant playin'
SB died, couldn't stop this pain
I look at the dots in space
I wonder if he's proud
Or thinks that his best friend lost his way
Keep it together for my daughters
Gotta come natural
I don't wanna force it
If it is not factual, don't support it
Every year I gotta re-swim these waters
Draw a line, for the sake of all your family and friends
Draw a line, so history doesn't happen again
Draw a line, for the day to start the night has to end
Draw a line, for all of these goals
I'm too high to fly this plane
Too - to drive this Range
Can't remember the last time I was on my own without Kev
It's kind of strange
Not bein' the same since 19
Never pushed LY on a swing, I gotta wear disguises
I'm up for tradin' lives sometimes, and it may surprise 'em
Every stadium, I've played it, but I would still do it for free
Gotta keep standards, top of the top of the tree
Press still got problems with me
When school starts, I might piece out
'Til then I keep chasing the dream
I could end it, but I don't wanna reach out
'Cause he means nothin' to me
Don't worry about what I make
Don't trip them up to win this race
When your career's in a risky place
Everything seems like a big mistake
I'm still lookin' for - to say
Deludin' myself that they'll still relate
Depression I keep at bay, tomorrow is a different day
Me and that guy don't speak no more
And no bother he's not sure, so what is the reason for
My heart's been broke so many times by loved ones
That I don't ever feel like talkin'
So heed that warning, circle keep getting smaller
All I need is Chez and my daughters and a few friends that help me
Draw a line, for the sake of your little girls and their time
Draw a line, allow yourself some moments to cry
Draw a line, and leave the past that hurt you behind
Draw a line, for all of these goals
Draw a line, be grateful that you've been where you been
Draw a line, recognize the path that happened between
Draw a line, the future's here, there's yet to be seen
Draw a line
The day bursts wild and open
