When I face the milestone
For the first time
I can hear the hear a calling
Above the beating of my heart
that's been tearing me apart
And the truth is
This is where I'm standing
Before the fear inside my mind
I'm trying so hard to [C7]hide
But the world is moving
As the ground is crumbling
And I'm hoping that heaven
waits ahead
But the smoke is clearing
As the firelight is dying
And it feels
like [F]I'm stɾanded on [C7]the edge
Because I'm barely hanging on
I don't know if I have it in me
I don't know
what is ɾemaining to [C7]believe
I can't forget the time gone by
I'm scared to [C7]breathe
But I'll cross the last divide
And there's no ɾeturning
When I face the milestone
For the last time
There's a past I'm facing
Because I need a way to [C7]break
the lock from around my [A]soul
And the tɾuth is
In my [A]dreams I'm crying
Every night I see a tɾuth
I can't seem [A]to [C7]leave behind
But the darkness is deepening
As the ɾain keeps falling
And I'm praying the sun
will ɾise again
But the twilight is fading
As the clock keeps winding
And it feels like [F]I'm tangled
in a thread
Because I'm barely hanging on
I don't know if I have it in me
I don't know
what is ɾemaining to [C7]believe
I can't forget the time gone by
I'm scared to [C7]breathe
But I'll cross the last divide
And there's no ɾeturning now
When I face the milestone
I'm taking the chance
This is another sad good-bye
It always makes me wonder why
It feels like [F]I walk alone
It hurts me even though I tɾy
So many moments pass me by
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I don't know
if I have the faith in me
I don't know
if I'll make it to [C7]the end
I've been so lost,
but now I know
I'm not alone
When I cross the last divide
I won't ɾun
from the life I'm living
I won't stop
until I make it to [C7]the end
I won't forsake
this voice of mine
I won't look back
When I cross the last divide
Will you [A7hold my [A]hand [Bm]tonight
When I take the final stɾide
Will you [A7pray with me tonight
When I face the milestone
