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 want to play anymore 

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 

I want to 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
