Lyrics
Storms always surrounding
No matter how much sun is around
Trying to see the blue sky from inside of the clouds
Lightning is flashing and the thunder starts to roar
I’ve got to escape but getting out is such a chore
So much depression
Under so much stress
Trying to work my problems out
Can’t seem to get no rest
But good vibes are awaiting
And the sun it always shines
So let’s get our act together
We can’t waste any more time
You can live
You can fight
You can get on with your life
You can win
You can lose
It ain’t always what you choose
You can give
You can take
You can make or you can break
You can do the things that make you feel alive
Or you can just lay down and die
It’s a daily struggle
So much hate in our lives
Just trying to keep our heads up
And just be the good guys
But loneliness is consuming
And it must not win
So let’s get ourselves out of here
Before the darkness sets in
You can live
You can fight
You can get on with your life
You can win
You can lose
It ain’t always what you choose
You can give
You can take
You can make or you can break
You can do the things that make you feel alive
Or you can just lay down and die
The fear brings a danger
It’s a suffocating anger
So take a look in the mirror
And now you see a stranger
Losing control can steal your soul
Pushing you down into a deep dark hole
Then you reach inside and find your light within
Go on and let it in
You can live
You can fight
You can get on with your life
You can win
You can lose
And it ain’t always what you choose
You can give
You can take
You can make or you can break
You can do the things that make you feel alive
Or you can just lay down and die
