There is something missing between there and here
Hope is not enough to cross the great divide
Everything is riding on this
Choosing whether to stand or run
Having lost sight of the road
Under darkness we fall
Remembering that we’ve got to get back up
Chilling atmosphere and for boding sound
Holding onto what fear can’t take away
Wishing for a single alley to escape
As if we were children we’d run
So far away from here
Most of us are just so lost
Only if we could be found
Still we keep on wishing but don’t expect it to come true
Turning our skies to grey from such a light blue
Listen to me carefully
You don’t have to be not blind to see
Open your eyes a little wider now,
Lasting through this fight determines your destiny
Don’t give up because of reason when passion says go on
People need something to believe in
Everything else will soon be gone
Okay so it’s not so easy
Putting your heart on the line
Leaves you vulnerable
Everything worth fighting for isn’t simple
And it can simply be lost
Nothing comes without some heart ache
Don’t turn it off
There’s a lasting picture
Holding a moment of your life
At that time when you chose to stop or go on
That single turning point is what shows who you are
Infinite choices with infinite impact
Says what you stand for or if you stand at all
While others cower will you be strong
How many others have fallen just to belong
Everything comes down to this
Notice it’s your greatest hit or biggest miss
The trouble with not believing anything is
How you always believe in something
Entirety in its entirely is all up to you
Take your moment take your shot
Ready or if you’re not
Our battle is one for life
Up from the dust we rise
Burning fire in our eyes
Last shot to take this show
Ephemeral acts have got to go
Begin your life a new
Envelope and destroy what’s haunting you
Go out and win the fight
All to take back your life
Now it is time
