Young and free, something you'll never be
A childhood's end, it's lunacy
Pure dictation, they don't listen
And you're just waiting for what you're missing
Welcome to your nightmare
You just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way
Today
You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
All their hopes and visions of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R.
So high and mighty, though much too blind too see
Who are you gonna live your life for?
Conformity will trap you like a locked door
Independence means owning your decision's
Authority will put your soul in prison
Welcome to your nightmare
You just can't walk away
It's time for you, to choose, your fate
You just can't let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole life's on the way
Today
You're no good, misunderstood, A.I.R.
All their hopes and visions of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, A.I.R.
So high and mighty, though much too blind too see
Fight, go insane, there's no one else to blame
Stop, their influence, you can't give them a chance
Break, right through the wall, that separates us all
Start, your second life, without their hands in sight
You got your pride you got your visions
Don't subside, don't ever give in
Don't compromise just keep on grinning
The games they play you just keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
A.I.R.
The cracks are showing, on my face
I didn¹t think that I was, that old my story is
I weathered every storm I, pulled it through
Falling by the wayside, I¹ve seen a few
But I never went down, never went down
I never will
Taken every single blow and countered
Never went down, never went down,
and better still
Look at my face and see your father
I¹m ready to take my turn
Taking the shot that I¹ve earned
Chance is what keeps me rolling
Rolling
Diamonds in my eyes
Oceans full of pride
Can't you see I¹m only human
I¹m in perpetual motion I¹m rolling, rolling
Can't you see I¹m only human
The cracks are showing, on my face
The well ain¹t empty, never out of place
It seems to be harder, for some maybe
And I won¹t play, the game of wait and see
But I never went down, never went down
I never will
Taken every single blow and countered
Never went down, never went down,
and better still
Look at my face and see your father
I¹m ready to take my turn
Taking the shot that I¹ve earned
Chance is what keeps me rolling
Rolling
Diamonds in my eyes
Oceans full of pride
Can't you see I¹m only human
I¹m in perpetual motion I¹m rolling, rolling
Can't you see I¹m only human
I don't fight I win, underneath it I'm human
And my pride is not a sin,
underneath it I'm human
and I respect my mistakes,
and decisions that I make
In time I¹ve earned my cake,
have my cake and then
I'll eat it
I¹m ready to take my turn
Taking the shot that I¹ve earned
Chance is what keeps me rolling
Rolling
Diamonds in my eyes
Oceans full of pride
Can¹t you see I¹m only human
I¹m in perpetual motion I¹m rolling, rolling
Can¹t you see I¹m only human
