The Prize
Chorus:
The prize is worth the working for
The prize is worth the waiting for
Waiting for years In the dirt and the tears
Is no compromise
Stand up and fight
For the right
To be someone in others eyes
The popular sin
Of us all giving in
Won't reveal the prize
(Chorus)
Running up hills
And the battle of wills
Used to wear you down
The pressures of life
Used to cut like a knife
At this humble clown
The taunts and the jokes
Of the carnival chokes
On your fearful cries
The popular sound
Of us all giving in
Won't reveal the prize
(Chorus)
You were the proud believer
Oh, don't you want the pride again
The prize
(Repeat chorus 4 times)
The prize is worth the working for
The prize is worth the waiting for
Waiting for years In the dirt and the tears
Is no compromise
Stand up and fight
For the right
To be someone in others eyes
The popular sin
Of us all giving in
Won't reveal the prize
(Chorus)
Running up hills
And the battle of wills
Used to wear you down
The pressures of life
Used to cut like a knife
At this humble clown
The taunts and the jokes
Of the carnival chokes
On your fearful cries
The popular sound
Of us all giving in
Won't reveal the prize
(Chorus)
You were the proud believer
Oh, don't you want the pride again
The prize
(Repeat chorus 4 times)
