Everyone's fighting, running and hiding
Trying to find answers to questions we don't know
We all hate this, drama and angst
But there's no where else to go

Hold your tongue and play it nice
Scream it out and pay the price
Fall to pieces and wash away
Stand strong and fight for another day

Life is made of decisions and outcomes
Accepting is listening to the beat of another drum
Failing is trying and not quite getting there
All our lying puts us in this despair

'Cause you can only hold it in for so long
And when your times up it's all gone
But we just glare and look strong
Walking down this road searching for a place to belong

What if a generation gave up all these ways?
What if we try and step up to the plate?
What if we stop this back stabbing and try a little peace?
What if the world would only believe?

Hope on Earth
It's getting harder and harder to find
Love in life
It's getting difficult for mankind
Acceptance and bearing
It's becoming hard to mind

'Cause you can only hold it in for so long
And when your times up it's all gone
But we just glare and look strong
Walking down this road searching for a place to belong
And we'll knock down anything to get what we need
When life is full of money and nothing but greed

What if a generation gave up all these ways?
What if we try and step up to the plate?
What if we stop this back stabbing and try a little peace?
What if the world would only believe?
I believe this is a hope hiding in the night
If only we would light a candle
And admit that we're not alright
