HOW LONG I HAVE WANTED
   THIS DREAM TO COME TRUE
   AND AS IT APPROACHES
   I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M THROUGH
   I'VE TRIED,
   OH, HOW I'VE TRIED
   FOR A LIFE, YES A LIFE
   I THOUGHT I KNEW
  
   OH IT'S THE PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
   AND ALL THE GAMES WE GOTTA PLAY
   MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO CARRY ON
   'CAUSE IT'S A GAME WE GOTTA LOSE,
   THOUGH IT'S A LIFE WE GOTTA CHOOSE
   AND THE PRICE IS OUR OWN LIFE UNTIL IT'S DONE
  
   TIME SEEMS TO HAVE FROZEN,
   BUT THE MIND CAN BE FOOLED
   AS THE DAYS PASS I DISCOVER
   DESTINY JUST CAN'T BE RULED
   HARD TIMES,
   OH HARD TIMES,
   FOR THE PRIZE, YES THE PRIZE,
   I THOUGHT I KNEW
  
   OH IT'S THE PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
   AND ALL THE GAMES WE GOTTA PLAY
   MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO CARRY ON
   'CAUSE IT'S A GAME WE GOTTA LOSE,
   THOUGH IT'S A LIFE WE GOTTA CHOOSE
   AND THE PRICE IS OUR OWN LIFE UNTIL IT'S DONE
  
   OH IT'S THE PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
   AND ALL THE GAMES WE GOTTA PLAY
   MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO CARRY ON
   'CAUSE IT'S A GAME WE GOTTA LOSE,
   THOUGH IT'S A LIFE WE GOTTA CHOOSE
   AND THE PRICE IS OUR OWN LIFE UNTIL IT'S DONE
  
   OH IT'S THE PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
   AND ALL THE GAMES WE GOTTA PLAY
   MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO CARRY ON
   'CAUSE IT'S A GAME WE GOTTA LOSE,
   THOUGH IT'S A LIFE WE GOTTA CHOOSE
   AND THE PRICE IS OUR OWN LIFE UNTIL IT'S DONE
