Your first hello, the darkness is broken
   You're scared, I know, the wheels are in motion
   It's opening night for the show of your lifetime, my friend
   The days roll by, you live for tomorrow
   Against the tide, in an ocean of sorrow
   Well, is it all worth it if nobody wins in the end?
  
   We learn as a child to carry the pain and hide it away in the dark
   We've all lived this charade, but I don't wanna play anymore
  
   Chorus:
   Give me love for the rest of my life
   Give me hope for the rest of my days
   I'm tired of watching the world slip away
   There's one thing you must understand
   When there's no forgiveness then nobody wins in the end
  
   You've come of age (you're a slave), a slave and a soldier
   You fight the rage (every day), but you heart's growing colder
   You're starting to wonder if nobody wins in the end
   You know, I'd rather die than keep living the lie we've become
  
   Chorus
   I wanna break free! I won't let these fools hold me down!
   I'm gonna spread my wings and fly
  
   It's time to go, the curtain is falling
   The final show, a new play is calling
   Just one thing to give you; take it or leave it, my friend
   If we don't come together, then nobody wins in the end
