VERSE 1   And as the day begins to rise   give a day for the life, liberty, trust in the american way   I was taken by surprise   To see the gate close tightly    step in line was all I heard 'em say   And as the day begins to lay   across the land like a blind kid playing life as if it were a game   I tried walking towards the light   With my fist in the air, I turned my head and lost the fight      CHORUS   And there's nothing left for me down here   So why can't I just fly   Away from all this pain and fear   among the broken lights      VERSE 2   Time will surely take it's toll   wrinkled skin, grey hair, and turn all of you young to old   I can't change my life i've tried   and with this i'll never be a star in the sky      CHORUS      BRIDGE   And when I'm walking out the shadows   help me free my mind   wanna live for tommorow    tommorow's just the end of time   right   dont you walk away   right   dont you walk away   right      CHORUS      CHORUS ADDITION   ive paid my dues   ive walked that road   and now i want to rise   above the clouds where angels glow   among the broken lights      ITS GETTING HARD TO BREATHE X3
