Glory Days
James Ollier Lyrics

These are the glory days
The present time is great and we should embrace it

So why are you scared
Why are you afraid of living in the moment?

We are young
We have our whole lives ahead of us

We are the risks we take
Our actions define us and shape our future

I breathe strong
I feel alive and confident

Starlings free-form
The birds are free and uninhibited

Over these moors
In this beautiful landscape

Where my heart lies
This is where I feel at home and at peace

Cemented in all of time
This moment is forever imprinted in my memory

And all past loves
All the people I've loved before

Over on the hills
In the distance

In five years still
It will still be here in five years

All remains here
Everything is unchanged

Untouched by the turns of life
Time cannot alter this landscape

And I get lost in mine
I lose myself in my thoughts about it

I'll be still as the wind spills its body
I will remain calm in the face of nature's power

I'm breaking out of the line
I'm stepping out of my comfort zone

I'll be calm as the winter storms surround me
I'll keep my cool in the face of adversity

I'm heading out this time
I'm leaving my old life behind

Look into the stars
Contemplate the vastness of the universe

I've been thinking more
I'm reflecting on my life

About this whole thing
About everything that matters to me

Through the gaps of a moving train
As I pass through life, I reflect on my experiences

For who we are
For our identity and values

Little do I know
I may not have all the answers

Come come and go
People enter and exit our lives

And love
Love is what matters most

We build up
We create our own identity

Who plays the fool
Who looks foolish when things don't go as planned?

When we've failed our last hurdle
When we have experienced defeat

Who claims the crown
Who emerges victorious?

When we've poisoned the rest of our lands
When we have ruined the world around us
