How long I have wanted this dream to come true

And as it approaches, I can't believe I'm through

I've tried, oh, how I've tried

For a life, yes a life, I thought I knew

Oh, it's the price we gotta pay and all the games we gotta play

Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on

'Cause it's a game we gotta lose, though it's a life we gotta choose

And the price is our own life until it's done

Time seems to have frozen but the mind can be fooled

As the days pass I discover, destiny just can't be ruled

Hard times, oh, hard times

For the prize, yes the prize, I thought I knew

Oh, it's the price we gotta pay and all the games we gotta play

Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on

'Cause it's a game we gotta lose, though it's a life we gotta choose

And the price is our own life until it's done

Oh, it's the price we gotta pay and all the games we gotta play

Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on

'Cause it's a game we gotta lose, though it's a life we gotta choose

And the price is our own life until it's done
