When I open my eyes, I see confusion around me, around me. When I open my mind, anxiety surrounds me, surrounds me. And I don't know how to fix it, and I'm almost too numb to care. When not knowing seems normal, and I am just too scared. When all you know has happened, and all you know has passed. When progress is unending and nothing seems to last. I don't know right now, whoa. Where we are heading, whoa. So let's freeze time right now, before the ending, and before the future decides to take hold of me. I know that, this is not what people wanted, when they dreamed of it then. And I know that, the world is in need of change, but it's so strange in the middle of it all. And I don't know how to fix it, and I'm almost too numb to care. When not knowing seems normal, and I am just too scared. When all you know has happened, and all you know has passed. When progress is unending and nothing seems to last. I don't know right now, whoa. Where we are heading, whoa. So let's freeze time right now, before the ending, and before the future decides to take hold of me. I don't know where we are going. I don't even know where we're at. I've been told that this is what I've needed, but that's conceded when I have no control. And the world is changing fast, and I can't fight it. I can only watch it as I wave to the past. And the world is changing fast, and I don't like it, I don't know who we are... I don't know now, whoa. Where we are heading, whoa. So let's freeze time right now, before the ending, and before the future decides to take hold of me.

Opinions differ from different people, but if we don't have one then, who are we now? And I might be naive, but I believe in what’s right, and I know that the truth will be black and white, will be black and white, will be black and white ’cause I... Wonder if we are, living our lives if we don't know who we are and stand for what’s right. Now I know now for certain one day we’ll find that moment of truth, ’cause I am right. Oh, I am, I am, I am right. Now I know that they say my fate is my fate. But how can that be? I control my destiny. And I have a plan, and I will succeed. And I know it might be hard, but I won't secede, no, I won’t secede, no, I won’t secede ’cause I... Wonder if we are, living our lives if we don't know who we are and stand for what’s right. Now I know now for certain one day we’ll find that moment of truth, ’cause I am right. Oh, I am, I am, I am right. And doubters can doubt, ’cause doers will do. And winners will win, ’cause losers will lose. And I know that it’s true, the good don't always win, but I‘m certain that I will find that, time will tell, oh, time will tell, and the truth will prevail! ’Cause I... Wonder if we are, living our lives if we don't know who we are and stand for what's right. Now I know now for certain one day we’ll find that moment of truth, ’cause I am right.

Are we really full of fear? Hoping it will disappear? Knowing it will persevere, time is running, time is running... Our own past won't melt away. 'Til we find that final day. When our world's in disarray, time is running, time is running... Is this our true destiny? In our hurt society, built on pain and built on greed, built for true prosperity? Along this road I dare foresee, a land of true catastrophe. Built on our atrocities, for this land of the free. Every day I have no doubt, we are heading on this route. Truth forgotten, long in drought, time is running, time is running... Every day I have no doubt, we are headed on this route. Truth forgotten, long in drought, Time is running, time is running out. We are our own nightmares, Even god won't hear our prayers. We should shame our own affairs. Time is running, time is running... Yet we are all full to blame, countless years, full of shame. Is our work all done in vain? Time is running, time is running... Is this our true destiny? In our hurt society, built on pain and built on greed, built for true prosperity? Along this road I dare foresee, a land of true catastrophe. Built on our atrocities, for this land of the free. Every day I have no doubt, we are heading on this route. Truth forgotten, long in drought, time is running, time is running... Every day I have no doubt, we are headed on this route. Truth forgotten, long in drought, time is running, time is running... We created a mess we can right, but bickering just leads to strife. Our society is full of fright, of a future that we’re all contrite. 'Cause this is our true destiny, to live in a society, built on pain and built on greed, selfishness is our decree. A future that I foresee, when our land is all debris, forged by our atrocities, forget this land of the free. Every day I have no doubt, we are heading on this route. Truth forgotten, long in drought, time is running, time is running... Every day I have no doubt, we are headed on this route. Truth forgotten, long in drought, time is running, time is running... Every day I have no doubt, we are heading on this route. Truth forgotten, long in drought, time is running, time is running... Every day I have no doubt, we are headed on this route. Truth forgotten, long in drought, time is running, time is running out.

I can't listen to them. I can't let them take control of me, oh. I can't listen to them. I know who I just want to be, so... I may struggle. I may fall. But after it all, I'm still here. 'Cause I'm not perfect, but I will grow. So there's one thing that you should know... Oh, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. I gotta fight for myself, 'cause if I don't, I know I won't succeed, oh. I gotta fight for myself, ’cause if I don't then I won't ever reach my dreams and... I may struggle. I may fall. But after it all, I'm still here. 'Cause I'm not perfect, but I will grow. So there's one thing that you should know... Oh, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. And through the thick and thin, And through all that I've been, I know I've overcome it all. And through all my life, And through all the strife, I know that I am strong. So bring it on, if the future’s coming, I won’t be running from it. So get out of the way, ‘cause today’s the day that I'm gonna show... Oh, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. No, you can't get me down. Oh, you can't get me down. (No matter how you try). No, you can't get me down. (I know that I'll survive). No, you can't get me down. (I know that I will thrive today). No, you can't get me down.

You worry me. You worry me my friend. I can't care anymore. I don't know what to say. I can't care anymore, I'm sorry. I’m sorry. How did you come so far, without going anywhere at all. I don't know what happened, but I'm so shell-shocked that I can't figure it out. I don't why you wanted to change, and why you think you’re okay. Your excuses are worthless, they put you to shame, and I know you’re better than that. I know that things change. There are true mistakes. We are all trying to find ourselves. But I know that there is a line, and you've crossed it, and I don't know what else to say 'cause... I can't care anymore. I don't know what to say. I can't care anymore, I'm sorry. I’m sorry. Broken promises, broken dates, I wish that things had the same. Don't you remember how things used to be? What happened? Things changed and I broke away. I left you there, and I hoped you would change. I thought you might realize it yourself. What happened? I know that things change. There are true mistakes. We are all trying to find ourselves. But I know that there is a line, and you've crossed it, and I don't know what else to say 'cause... I can't care anymore. I don't know what to say. I can't care anymore, I'm sorry. I’m sorry. I want you know, that I hope you will be just fine. 'Cause we were close, and I can explain it, but now it’s all in the past. I want you know, that I hope that things will turn out right. I just know that... I can't care anymore. I don't know what to say. I can't care anymore, I'm sorry. I just can't care anymore.

Just another night, working late again, trying to finish work, that never seems to end. Trying to get through life, but, it just doesn't seem right, I know, that it’s not easy. I know it's hard, oh. And I know it's rough, oh. But all this hard work will pay off sometime, if we keep racing to the finish line. I don't know when, but some day we'll see, that we will be making history. I believe in you so believe in me, that I know that we can be anything. A couple hours of sleep, don't help at all, when the world feels big, and we feel too small. We can't give up, no. We gotta see it to the end. I know, that it’s not easy. I know it's hard, oh. And I know it's rough, oh. But all this hard work will pay off sometime, if we keep racing to the finish line. I don't know when, but some day we'll see, that we will be making history. I believe in you so believe in me, that I know that we can be anything. So dream on, oh, dream on just fine, I know it's hard, but this is our time. The world has been waiting for a time of change, and we are the ones to take the stage. This is the time that we've been dreaming for our lives, so I know that things will turn out alright. So remember now ‘cause we are the change. This is when the world will know our name. I don't know when, but some day we'll see, that we will be making history. I believe in you so believe in me, that I know that we can be anything.

I would like to tell you that I understand you’re mad, but now things have just gotten out of hand, oh. I would like to tell you that I understand I was wrong, but I don't think this should be the last straw. 'Cause in this world, I know you'll find, just another guy. But in this world I know I'm right. Please, one more time. 'Cause in this world where days are going day by day. In this world of things unkind, I will show that I am here beside you, and I'll show, that I still care. Now I know you’re mad, and rightfully so, but, I can't explain if you’re not listening. And I don't know how this happened, but it’s been a nightmare, and it’s been on my mind every day. 'Cause in this world, I know you'll find, just another guy. But in this world I know I'm right. Please, one more time. 'Cause in this world where days are going day by day. In this world of things unkind, I will show that I am here beside you, and I'll show, that I still care. I know that I've made mistakes. But, I know that I've always been honest with you. And I will go, every single day, to prove that I still care. I know that things haven't been the same. Why can’t they just go back? I'm sorry I'm not perfect. I'm sorry that I care. But, I can't get you out of my mind... 'Cause in this world where days are going day by day. In this world of things unkind, I will show that I am here beside you, and I'll show, that I still care. Just give me one more chance...

Let's not let these moments past, I've been waiting for them too long. And as one chapter leaves my grasp, I know that I will live strong, so... Give me a moment to realize, to contemplate where we're going. I need a moment to realize, that things will never be the same so... Give me one chance so I just can believe that my future’s racing forward and that I just need to breathe. Oh. I need some time to realize, that I must go on living without you. And it doesn't make sense, but I know that it’s time to be fresh and new, so... Give me a moment to realize, to contemplate where we're going. I need a moment to realize, that things will never be the same, so... Give me one chance so I just can believe that my future’s racing forward and that I just need to breathe, so... Thank you for all the times. Thank you for the memories. I've had quite a blast and quite a journey. So just remember now, to reach for the stars, 'cause I know that we will win 'cause the future is ours. It took me some time to just realize, that this is my life, and this is my time, so... Give me one chance so I just can believe that my future’s racing forward and that I just need to breathe, oh... I need one chance so I just can believe that my future’s racing on and I just need to breathe.
