And as the day begins to rise... Giving day new light and liberty and justice, just the American way I was taken by surprise... To see those gates closed tightly...step in line son's all I heard him say And as the day begins to lay... Across the land like a blanket playing life as if it were a game I tried walking towards the light... With my fist in the air, I turned my head and lost the fight There's nothing left for me down here...so why can't I just fly Away from all this pain and fear...among the broken lights Time will surely take its toll... Wrinkle skin, grey hair and turn all of you young to old I can't change my life if I tried... And with this I'll never be a star in the sky There's nothing left for me down here...so why can't I just fly Away from all this pain and fear...among the broken lights I've been blinded by the sun For all the evil things I've done You made me sleep inside of darkness You made me hide behind a gun Don't want to walk behind your shadow Won't you help me free my mind I want to live for tomorrow Cause tomorrow's just the end of time Right... Don't you walk away Right... No I can't Right... Don't you walk away Right There's nothing left for me down here...so why can't I just fly Away from all this pain and fear...among the broken lights I've paid my dues, I've walked that road...and now I want to rise Above the clouds where angels glow...among the broken lights It's getting hard to breath... It's getting hard to breath... It's getting hard to breath...
