Strike Out Against the Tide

All the power and the passion and the glory and the grace
Where has it all gone?
All the dreams worn down to sad and lonely fantasies
What would you do if you ever ever ever could find it all again?
You don't know so you go with the flow that sucks you
Right down the drain

Oo-oo-oo-huoo

All these lives so bright packed in too tight and
Choked down by weeds
Such a desperate world where it's just all
Beat 'em or join 'em
Is this kinda decay really truly ok or do you
Want to break free?
It's a long hard fight till you start to get it right
And you know it's gonna to be

Swimming against the tide
Leaping against the chains
Playing against the game
It's gonna be tempting to
Turn back round again
Pushing on through the pain
Pushing the fear aside
With nowhere left to hide
Nothing will be the same again
Nothing will ever be the same

O-huwa-ooowa-huwao

If you swim against it strong enough
It could turn around
Don't have to let it drag you down
Suck you down till you drown
I know it looks hard, too hard to do
But not impossible
You know it's only logical
To live what you believe
You can achieve the improbable, unstoppable, invincible
Defying the conventional
Original
(Strike out)
You are holding the umbilical of all that's ever been
And will be
(Strike out)
So

Strike out against the tide
Leap out into the void
Believe it until its true
Live it until it comes to you
You won't need a place to hide
Cos you can find your way back home again
Strike out against the tide
Leap out into the void
Believe it until it's true
Live it until it comes to you

Ooo- oh-ah-oh

How can you call it living life
When it's more like doing time?
Not to live while you're alive
Is the ultimate and only crime
It's so close now you can taste it, taste it
Not let gonna let you waste it
While you could spin it free
Let it be, let it be
Take the leap along with me
Time to get started on building and living a real life
And forever be done with this just doing time, it's so
Close now you can taste it, taste it
You gonna be amazed by it
Once we set it free
Let it be, let it be, so be it and let it be

Strike out against the tide
Break out beyond the chains
You won't need a place to hide
Cos you can find your way back home again
Strike out against the tide
Leap out into the void
Believe it until it's true
