Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There've been times in my life

I've been wondering why

Still, somehow I believed we'd always survive

Now, I'm not so sure you're waiting to hear

One good reason to try

But what more can I say

What's left to provide

[PreChorus]

You think that maybe it's over

Only if you want it to be

Are you gonna wait for a sign, your miracle?

Stand up and fight

[Chorus]

This is it

Make no mistake where you are

This is it

Your back's to the corner

This is it

Don't be a fool anymore

This is it

The waiting is over

[Verse 2]

No room to run, no way to hide

No time for wonderin' why

It's here, the moment is now, about to decide

Let him believe

Leave him behind

But keep me near in your heart

Know whatever you do

I'm here by your side

[PreChorus]

You say that maybe it's over

Not if you don't want it to be

For once in your life

Here's your miracle

Stand up and fight

[Chorus]

This is it

Make no mistake where you are

This is it

You're goin' no further

This is it

Until it's over and done

[Bridge]

No one can tell you what you know

Who makes the choice of how it goes?

It's not up to me this time

You know?

There comes a day in every life

[Chorus]

This is it

Make no mistake where you are

This is it

You're goin' no further

This is it

Until it's over and done

This is it

One way or another

This is it

No one can tell what the future knows

Your back's to the corner

This is it

You make the choice of how it goes

The waiting is over

This is it

No one can tell what the future knows

You're goin' no further

This is it
