You Are the Ones

You made it through the day

Your face can't hide the bruises

You fight to get away

Running until you choke

Don't lift your eyes to see

This whole life is a joke

No matter what you got to stay strong

The harder the struggle

The more you carry on

Feeling your dreams slip away

In the drive to succeed

Forgotten what you need

Always waiting for something new

Never given the chance to choose

You're the ones facing the problems

You look them straight in the eyes

You take one step forward, and two back

It's only a dance in disguise

You carry the weight of the world

When all around you seems so dark

And the pressure is bringing you down

For one night let your sails unfurl

Your boss is always on your back

You want to shake him loose

But your neck is in the noose

Stuck in the traffic again

Fueling an empty rage

Like a rat in a cage

Giving without expectation

With no consideration

For your own sake

But you have been given this night

It is your right

It is yours to take

Always waiting for something new

Never given the chance to choose

You're the ones facing the problems

You look them straight in the eyes

You take one step forward, and two back

It's only a dance in disguise

You carry the weight of the world

When all around you seems so dark

And the pressure is bringing you down

For one night let your sails unfurl

You are the ones

You are the ones

Keeping your hopes alive

You are the ones

You are the ones

Helping the dream to survive
