Why does it have to be like this?
Why don't we just take control?
We could break the hand that takes
The strength that radiates
From deep inside your soul
This life is ours with all its scars
All these fallen stars
Will wake up in the cold
No one knows what's supposed to happen next
So we just keep our fingers crossed and keep hoping for the best
But I know if we unite, then together we can fight
Everything we know is wrong, we don't have to play along anymore...
Wind us up and turn us loose
Make the train chase the caboose
Until it finally jumps the tracks
The casualties are memories
Forgotten histories
If we don't look back
Learn from the past, the die is cast
And nothing ever lasts
This is a panic attack
No one knows what's supposed to happen next
So we just keep our fingers crossed and keep hoping for the best
But I know if we unite, then together we can fight
Everything we know is wrong, we don't have to play along anymore...
The time is now, the place is here
The person's you, the moment is clear
This is bigger than us all
If we don't change our ways, our numbered days
Will dwindle away
For every summer, there's a fall
And I can't see
If this is apathy or atrophy
Unless we all stand tall
No one knows what's supposed to happen next
So we just keep our fingers crossed and keep hoping for the best
But I know if we unite, then together we can fight
Everything we know is wrong, we don't have to play along anymore...
