How long I have wanted
this dream to come true
And as it approaches

I can't believe I'm through

I've tried

Oh, how I've tried
For a life, yes a life
I thought I knew


(chorus)
Oh it's the price we gotta pay

And all the games we gotta play
Makes me wonder
if it's worth it to carry on

'Cause it's a game we gotta lose
Though it's a life we gotta choose
And the price is our own life

until it's done

Time seems to have frozen

but the mind can be fooled
As the days pass I discover
destiny just can't be ruled


Hard times
Oh, hard times

For the prize, yes the prize
I thought I knew


(repeat chorus 3x)
