How long I have wanted this dream to come true
And as it approaches I can't believe I'm through
I've tried, oh, how I've tried for the life oh the life
I'm on to
Oh it's the price you've gotta pay
And all the games you've gotta play
Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
Cause it's a game we've gotta loose
Though it's a life we've gotta choose
And the price is your whole life until it's gone
Time seems to have frozen but the mind can't be fooled
As the days pass I discover destinty just can't be ruled
Hard times, oh, hard times, for the price yes the price
I'm on to
