Die Trying

It's a shame you don't see what is there to be seen.
We've got one shot at life, and we're setting the scene
For a future that could be the end of our crying.
We've got one shot to do or die trying.

But you still will not hear what is meant to be heard.
You won't listen to reason or sing with the birds,
And you all do your best to live life like a lion.
We've got one chance to do or die trying,

So you'll roar with the lions, keep your eyes on the ball.
You'll pursue what you can, take no prisoners at all,
And you won't give a damn who is left behind crying.
We've got one shot to do or die trying,

And a shame you don't see what is there to be seen.
You've got one shot at life, and you're stealing the scene
From a future that should be the end of our sighing.
We've got one chance to do or die trying.
