And the men who hold high places must be the ones who start to mold a new reality closer to the heart. |
I WROTE IT ON THE CAN |
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. |
It's a test of ultimate will The heartbreak climb uphill Got to pick up the pace If you want to stay in the race More than just blind ambition More than just simple greed More than just a finish line Must feed this burning need |
Lessons taught but never learned, all around us anger burns. Guide the future by the past. Long ago the mould was cast. |
Live for yourself -- there's no one else More worth living for Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more |
Well, I know they've always told you/ Selfishness was wrong/ Yet it was for me, not you, I came to write this song/ |
What you own is your own kingdom What you do is your own glory What you love is your own power What you live is your own story |
When they turn the pages of history, when these days have passed long ago-- will they read of us with sadness for the seeds that we let grow? |
Who brought me up to know better... |
You can surrender Without a prayer But never really pray Pray without surrender You can fight Without ever winning But never ever win Without a fight |
You don't get something for nothing You can't have freedom for free You won't get wise With the sleep still in your eyes No matter what your dreams might be |
