On Its Way

about

Mike and Scott are often forced to work apart due to distance. Scott will often send Mike a song idea that consists of lyrics AND a guitar riff. Scott had the idea to simply put together a song as a drum track and send it to Mike; since HE'S the guitarist, he might as well come up with the riff! When Mike sent the file - with guitar - back to Scott, he emailed to say "Okay, it's on it's way." And thus, a song is born!

lyrics

Listen up, and you'll learn from me
The price is high, but you can steal it for free
I'll make it clear: the power's inside
Reach down deep and you can jump for the sky
So come on, let's go for a ride
No holding back, so just swallow your pride
Don't get caught in a loop of dreams
Ignoring what it is for what it seems

Because the future is on its way
Live for the past and you're wasting today
The future is on its way
Miss tonight and you're wasting away
Because the future is on its way
Live for the past and you're wasting today
The future is on its way
Miss tonight and you're wasting away

I've done my time, I've paid my years
With guilty heartache and useless tears
By my own hand I tightened the noose
Woke up and I had to break loose
No regrets, no apologies
You can't walk tall when you're on your knees
So stand up! The power is you
Facing front is what you've gotta do

(chorus)

Escape temptation to live in the past
The guilder memories will never last
A loss of passion is the price you'll pay
Because the future is on its way!

(chorus)
