Say it's not the end   I try to make amends   I say that we can take our chance   I'm dying since you went away      Pain, I've had my share   (I've really had my share)   Waiting for you in vain   (I've been waiting for you)      But now, I found myself   I've got to break my chains      No more tears to cry   Hope will free my mind      I can't understand   Why you want this to end   I know I got to take a stand   I'll never be some kind of friend      Sadness, I paid my dues   (You know I paid my dues)   Hard times, I've had a few   ( I have had a few)      Tired of feeling blue   (Sometimes I'm feeling blue)   I turn to someone new      No more tears to cry   Hope will free my mind   A new sun will rise   Love will make it shine      Now I've drawn the line   I've kissed my past goodbye   I know that love will dry my eyes   And God knows time is on my side      Pain, I've had my share   (You know I've had my share of)   Waiting, you didn't care   (I've been waiting for you)      But now, I found myself   I've got to break my chains      No more tears to cry   Hope will free my mind   A new sun will rise   Love will make it shine      No more tears to cry   Hope will free my mind      When the one love you had left you hurting so bad   (No more tears to cry)   The world seems to fall apart, your life has turned into dark   (Hope will free my mind)      But the sun will rise in somebody's loving eyes   (A new sun will rise)   It will light up your way, turning your night into day   (Love will make it shine)      No more tears to cry   Hope will free my mind   A new sun will rise   Love will make it shine      No more tears to cry   Hope will free my mind   A new sun will rise   Love will make it shine
