For Your Sake

In the middle of nowhere, we're walking low on broken glass
Cautious of the status quo, the clock chimes tick-tock

In this quaint, happy picture, smile mummy and daddy
But by blind faith, and for your sake, the charade goes on

For your sake, we've gotta be stronger
For your sake, a little while longer
A lot of hurt, a lot of frustration
A lot of dirt, a lot of aggravation

For your sake, we've gotta be stronger
For your sake, a little while longer
Why?

No prisoners taken; no spoils of war for victory
All casualties of circumstance, who dares to walk away?

A time bomb's ticking; this centre surely cannot hold
But in the name of love, and by God's grace
Won't tear your world apart

For your sake, we've gotta be stronger
For your sake, a little while longer
A lot of hurt, a lot of frustration
A lot of dirt, a lot of aggravation

For your sake, we've gotta be stronger
For your sake, a little while longer
Mmm, why? why?

Why? For your sake, we've gotta be stronger
For your sake, a little while longer
A lot of hurt, a lot of frustration
A lot of dirt, a lot of aggravation

For your sake, we've gotta be stronger
Let's put our differences aside
For your sake, a little while longer
In the name of love, and for his sake - for our boy, for our boy, no

For your sake, we've gotta be stronger, yeah
For your sake, a little while longer
Won't leave you, won't forsake you - you're my boy, you're my joy

For your sake, we've gotta be stronger
Let's put our differences aside
For your sake, a little while longer
Work a little bit harder, just a little bit harder
