Do we play this life as if we're pawns or if we're kings

Do we take advantage of life as we do of everything ...

Every time I turn around, I hear the same old sounds

We knew we were in trouble so we cried all night long ...

I turned to you for hope but you hung me on a gallows rope

All I ever wanted maybe was to see you smile ...

It doesn't really matter if my feet are on the ground

You're never gonna help me, never gonna help my anyhow ...

It seemed as if we cared about those dreams we dared

What happened man when the hope just wasn't there ? ...

Yeah, now everything's okay, I'll rise again someday

You just frown and turn around, and run the other way ...

I'll be back someday

I'll get by some way

(2x)

Do we play this life as if we're pawns or if we're kings

Do we take advantage of life as we do of everything ...

Every time I turned around you were nowhere to be found

I knew I was in trouble so I had to sing this song ...

Should I look for you or maybe pull you through

It seems a little crazy but if I only knew ...

It doesn't really matter if my feet are on the ground

You're never gonna help me, never gonna help my anyhow ...

I think the time has come for me to turn around and run

The king is the winner but the pawn must tread his way ...

It's time for to say, now I'm not afraid

Now I'm not in trouble and the tears are gone ...

So

I'll be back someday

I'll be back someday

I'll get by some way

I'll be back someday
