you carry on    sad but true   everyone here goes down with you   my favorite song i'll make due   running away from everything new   from everything new      who are we to say    that all things should go away   who will stay for my soul      it's black and white   clear as day   why everything right never comes my way   take a deep breath and look around   i'm close to the edge   looked for what i have found   can't stop me now   you can't hold me down      who are we to say    that all things should go away   who will stay for my soul      you carry on    once more it's true   above and beyond   i expect from you   nothing old, everything new   for once i belong here   for once i came through   you take me   closer to when i    believed in myself   when it was worth a try   why can't you reach me   this can't be true   we can't we start over   with everything new      who are we to say    that all things should go away   who will stay for my soul
