When you turn away and lock all your doors   When it's getting out of hand, how am I to understand   And then you may think there's no turning back   Running low on self esteem   falling back into your dream      There's this endless hole in the wishing well   Wish you were somebody else   but too afraid to ask for help   Would you play a part in the scheme of things   And I will depend on you, if you show me how to do      We are the troopers, pick up the losers   and turn into a better day   Pick up the sceptics, the non believers   and turn into a brighter day      And the winner smiles and she takes it all   And you are lonely and afraid,   but she doesn't look your way   And they know the drill, taking you apart   And the world that you have known   is a world without a heart      We are the troopers, pick up the losers   and turn into a better day   Pick up the sceptics, the non believers   and turn into a brighter day      Who can tell the price of learning,   steppin out and turn the key   slow and steady fire burning,   feeding on it's elf esteem.      We are the troopers, pick up the losers   and turn into a better day   Pick up the sceptics, the non believers   and turn into a brighter day
