Thrown into the light / Taught how to believe / Learn to love / Learn to hate / Then learn to read the lines between / We've looked at our past mistakes / And learned that time can heal your wounds / Stand tall with pride at any stake / But the reminder of a scar will stay too soon / The victory of life / The forfeit chose in death / The goals we all chase / Closer with our every breath / Arms wide open now / Waiting for that sweet embrace / The tears we hold back / For fear of one's disgrace
Somewhere off in candyland theres an answer to our prayers / Theres a reason for the suffering / Our expression's in the air / The story moves along / Human saga must go on / Don't sleep / Don't dream / Don't even look outside
Thrown into a world / Taught how to conform / Learn to breathe / Learn to see / Then learn to join the swarm / We've marched up to the edge / Together we could take it all / We stare down at that ledge / And contemplate the fall / The ecstasy of life / The mystery of death / The doom that haunts us all / Closer with our every breath / Eyes wide open now / Just too good to waste / Everything we know / Is only our first taste
