24,000 Miles

24,000 miles in a year, one for every sin you have known.

A change in gears for the reversal of wrongs.

Enough for one life you had thought, 

but that corner hadn't been turned yet,

Followed unaware, haunted.

Counted days and wasted ways

More than your share, so you thought.

The sun is there, just beyond the horizon, 

Hidden by another night, longer than before.

Breathe in the present, expel the future,

Today is enough.

A kiss for the road once again,

A plane for goodbye.

Time counted by days and letters never written.

Nights by moons across the windowpane in rain drop form.

Jumping at shadows in the form of yesteryears all to known.

Counted days and wasted ways,

More than your share, so you thought.

The sun is there, just beyond the horizon.

Hidden by another night, longer than before.

Breathe in the present, expel the future,

Today is enough.

Someone else's sin is has taken a piece of your soul,

And you aren't asking for it back.

Forgiveness hasn't found it's way,

And freedom keeps waiting in the wings.

Seconds tick as time waits to take you away,

Announcing the end of the future.

Breathe in the present, expel the future,

Today is enough.
