I've been waiting for some last stand   To bank everything on one heroic play   But when you're waiting for your big chance   I've come to learn that it don't go down that way      And I'm not talking about no free ride   I've stood by and I've watched them fade to dust   It's not for high ideals 'cause you know I've tried   At some point I think everybody must      And you lost me there   What's the point of playing   If you're trying to win and I don't care   I can't get over and I can't get in      I wish someday that I was free and wise   As to satisfy the justice that I crave   The sun will set again, the sun will rise   And in the darkness I will have to try to be brave      And you lost me there   What's the point of playing   If you're trying to win and I don't care   I can't get over and I can't get in      In loving faith, I know a time will come   When day and night both you and I will see   If that's just a prayer then thy will be done   It's just the way that I wanted it to be      And you lost me there   What's the point of playing   If you're trying to win and I don't care   I can't get over and I can't get in
