I used to believe only the lucky ones
Were blessed by the stars when they fell
Now I truly do believe the road to heaven
Is paved with the stones of hell
I can forgive the trip
But I won't forget the way there

After the film of my life
When they roll the credits on by
They've got to mention your name
Like a million times
Long before I ever knew
This was where I had to be
Etched in the stone
Of my future, indelible
Written forever and ever and ever
