Spent your life on the fence And wonder where the time went From the time you were born You always did what you've told
When you've gone there's nothing you leave behind Always easy to please Never get off your knees Give and you will receive Just like a kick in the teeth
How long can you just turn the other cheek Tell me what you've got to lose There's just so much you can do
Stand up, one shot can make a nation cry One voice can make them wonder why One spark can make a fire burn One lesson everybody must learn
You gotta search for the truth It's just so easy to lose When there's so many lies That find a way to get through
I know the future is in your hands Don't hide your head in your hands There's just so much you can stand
Who's gonna answer your prayers When you are no longer there If you're looking for signs You must be crazy or blind I know the future is in your hands Tell me what you gotta lose There's so much more you can do
