Bound For Glory - That Was Then, This Is Now Lyrics
18, damned and defiantAgainst the lies of this world I couldn't keep quietOff with my hair, I made my allianceNot a show of fashion, but an act of defianceI learned my lessons, and I learned them wellFor every lesson there is a story to tellWhile many claim to be true, only a few really areWith a false pretense in life you won't go very farPre-Chorus:After all these years gone by, I think to myselfWas it all worth it?The hardships, the anger, the dissapointment in somePlaying with life like it's a loaded gunChorus:That was then this is now, that was then this is nowThat was then this is now, that was then this is nowThat was then this is now, that was then this is nowThat was then this is now, that was then this is nowIdeals don't change, they only get strongerIf you can't figure right from wrong, you won't last longerWhile some are like fire, they still flicker in the windWhen their flame burns out, their spark has given inI can see your fire, and I know it exists in youBe wise, be noble, and above all else be trueFollow your own steps, be your own leaderBecause no one should be one for you(Repeat Pre-Chorus)(Repeat Chorus)Don't judge a book by its cover until you see what is insidePages of pride, passion and sorrow,Tales of a man with a message you'll findJudge not by what others say, judge only by what you seeIn a world governed by shackles and lies,There are those that are truly free
