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
