Making the play, the future is mine
Seizing the day, walking the line
Here I stand, just a man with his life in his hands
With tooth and nail and hand over fist I clim
On and on

A dream of a life far from here
I know one day I'll find

[CHORUS:]

A better way
A brighter day
The perfect life
Is on the other side

A chance for me
To live the dream
The grass is green
On the other side

Reaching the top and I wonder, is this all there is?
All those years that I walked the line
Played the role, took it's toll
On this goldfish bowl I call life
From every direction a voice -
Don't know which way to turn

I search for a life far from here
The one I left behind

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Another headline, another fallen star
Are we better off where we are?

[REPEAT CHORUS x2]
