Pass it by, just one more lie
Then everything's okay
But you'll never find, what's left behind
At least that's what they say

We keep a gun, and try to run
But we just can't move that fast
Broken yesterdays, won't go away
We can't escape our past

But that's alright, we want to fight
And stand up when we fall
Just go along, and think we're strong
Until we just can't breathe at all

What do we do, the fight is through
But the war keeps going on
We've come so far, it's who we are
While we fight this world of stone

I don't know how, but it's our turn now
It's time we joined this war
You may not agree, but we fight to be free
And it's a cause worth dying for

You can never know, how far we'll go
If we only had a chance
Your picket fence, our recompense
Passed without a glance

We may not fly, but we have to try
Whatever is the cost
A price to pay, to live each day
And recover what is lost

Every scar, shows who we are
And that proves with every scream
You can cut us down, destroy our ground
But you'll never kill the dream.
