"Progression" Lyrics

Six months old
Life is just beginning to unfold
Worlds little bundle of hope, hope
Eleven months old
Took my first step
Holding on to everything in sight, so tight

Have you ever wondered what my life would bring?
Have you ever wondered
How I could be strong yet have lost everything?
Have you ever wondered
When it would be my time to fly?
You'll have to look me in the eye
As we say our last goodbye last goodbye

Seven years old
Stuck in this chair, it's not fair
Couldn't run like the others
Please don't stop and stare

Twelve years old
At the school dance
Their eyes like arrows pierced the air
No tears, I wouldn't dare

Have you ever wondered what my life would bring?
Have you ever wondered
How I could be strong yet have lost everything?
Have you ever wondered
When it would be my time to fly?
You'll have to look me in the eye
As we say our last goodbye last goodbye

It's a progression
Beginning to an end, oh
It's a progression
These things that I can't comprehend
It's a progression
Getting closer to the day when I'll say goodbye to every last friend
It's a progression, progression
It's a progression, progression
It's a progression, progression
It's a progression, progression

Will you ever wonder what my life did bring?
Will you ever wonder how I was strong until I lost everything?
Will you ever wonder why it was my time to fly?
We looked each other in the eye
And we said our last goodbye, last goodbye

We said our last goodbye
(It's a progression)
Oh our last goodbye
(It's a progression)
We said our last goodbye
(It's a progression)
Our last goodbye
It's a progression
