We've all heard so many conflicting words About life, whether wrong or right How you gotta be workin' hard And it ain't no easy job To survive. Just keep alive
We've all come to think of ourselves as links In a chain, so much to gain We are the ones who tie our fathers to our sons Don't you know, that's how we grow
What my life really means is that the songs that I sing Are just pieces of a dream that I've been building And we can make a stand and hey, I'm reachin' for your hand 'Cause I know damn well we can if we are willing But we gotta be... Got to be willing
Well we've all been so close to getting in It's always nice, with no sacrifice But times have changed and it's no longer strange To make a few corrections in our direction
'Cause being strong is more than just holdin' on To advance, you gotta take a chance Waitin' on line, it ain't nothin' but marking time Won't get nowhere, just standing here
