lyrics

Who are we
Where are we gonna go?
Just take it slow kid, you move so fast
Are we now? Will we stay here?
They all tell me the same
Smiling ear to ear

And as I'm watching days go by
I see it in their eyes
That they'll try to tell me who I am
We all want love, we all want joy
We're little soldier toys
Walking into a war we'll never win

But I, I won't die, not at the hands of my demons
No we, we won't lose, we'll be who we choose
And I'll silently sing along with you

Watch this child, he grows up so fast
He'll have to face the world
Before the hour's past
Beat the drum
Keep on time
We all take on the world
It takes what we supply

And as I'm taking every step
I know just what you meant
That our lives are just specks looking back
We all have hope, we all have rage
They strike head on every day
Making every choice for man

So I, I won't die, not at the hands of my demons
No we, we can't lose, the winner is who we choose
So I'll take a chance, and make a toast to you

Goodbye day, hello night
We may be okay, we might die
The time is soon, its the time the world will strike
A candle in the dark, a voice in the night
Oh we'll stay here, death soon near
But at least I have a song in my ear

So I, I won't die, not at the hands of my demons
No we, we can't lose, the winner is who we choose
So I'll take a chance, and make a toast to you

But I, I won't die, not at the hands of my demons
No we, we won't lose, we'll be who we choose
And I'll silently sing along with you
