It's hard not to choke when you breathe in so much smoke Sometimes life feels like a joke When you're feeling beaten and broke You have to stay on the path Follow your heart or calculate the math Don't just let life slip by You at least have to try Even if you want to cry Even if you want to die Don't just let life slip by You at least have to try Sometimes life feels like a joke When you're feeling beaten and broke You have to stay on the path Follow your heart or calculate the math There's still something inside me There's something I can see I know one day I'll be free I just want you to believe We don't have to pack up and leave.
