To wander through the hands of all time

A vision of my life I must find

The time has come for the speaker to leave.
I'll leave the world a piece of my heart

Where I go you cannot follow

If I'll be back, I really don't know

Girl you know I won't forget

And girl I won't forget the past (x2)

Don't say you'll miss me, I won't believe

'Cause you laughed at me and all of my dreams
