We should overcome
There s enough at stake
For us to tear the walls down and escape
Leave it all behind
Erase and start anew
It s not a question if it s just what we should do
There s hope for anyone on the other side
What s the use in hope if we re afraid of trying?
We should understand
Try to sympathize
With the kind of people we despise
There s nothing left to lose
Except for compromise
Looking at the world through someone else s eyes
We ve got a lot to learn from the other side
We re too proud to see what we re busy denying
(Solo - same progression as verse)
There s salvation waiting on the other side
We don t want to live but we re afraid of dying
Life is what you choose
Love is what you make
Success is based on chances that you take
We re the ones to blame
If absolution is denied
Cause we were so concerned about the other side (End on C)
