The Prize Lyrics

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 A LIFE, YES A LIFE
I THOUGHT I KNEW
OH IT'S THE PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
AND ALL THE GAMES WE GOTTA PLAY
MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO CARRY ON
'CAUSE IT'S A GAME WE GOTTA LOSE,
THOUGH IT'S A LIFE WE GOTTA CHOOSE
AND THE PRICE IS OUR OWN LIFE UNTIL IT'S DONE

TIME SEEMS TO HAVE FROZEN,
BUT THE MIND CAN BE FOOLED
AS THE DAYS PASS I DISCOVER
DESTINY JUST CAN'T BE RULED
HARD TIMES,
OH HARD TIMES,
FOR THE PRIZE, YES THE PRIZE,
I THOUGHT I KNEW

OH IT'S THE PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
AND ALL THE GAMES WE GOTTA PLAY
MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO CARRY ON
'CAUSE IT'S A GAME WE GOTTA LOSE,
THOUGH IT'S A LIFE WE GOTTA CHOOSE
AND THE PRICE IS OUR OWN LIFE UNTIL IT'S DONE

OH IT'S THE PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
AND ALL THE GAMES WE GOTTA PLAY
MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO CARRY ON
'CAUSE IT'S A GAME WE GOTTA LOSE,
THOUGH IT'S A LIFE WE GOTTA CHOOSE
AND THE PRICE IS OUR OWN LIFE UNTIL IT'S DONE

OH IT'S THE PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
AND ALL THE GAMES WE GOTTA PLAY
MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO CARRY ON
'CAUSE IT'S A GAME WE GOTTA LOSE,
THOUGH IT'S A LIFE WE GOTTA CHOOSE
AND THE PRICE IS OUR OWN LIFE UNTIL IT'S DONE
7. Don't Let Me Down

LOOK AT YOU
YOU'RE MY DREAM
ARE YOU ALL THAT YOU SEEM?
NOW YOU HAVE WHAT I NEED
AND WHAT I BELIEVE
DON'T TELL ME YOU'LL LOSE IT
'CAUSE I'LL HAVE TO LEAVE

DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN

WHAT DO I HAVE TO GIVE
UNTIL YOU LET ME LIVE?
YOU'RE ALL THAT I WORK FOR,
BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH
DO I HAVE TO DIE TOO
TO SHOW YOU MY STUFF?
WELL, I GIVE YOU MY BEST
SO, WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
I'M PASSING THE BIGGEST TEST
SO, DON'T CRY
LEND A HAND
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN

HEAD HELD HIGH
HEART IN HAND
FLESH AND BLOOD MAKE A MAN
IF THAT DISAPPOINTS YOU
WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY?
I DON'T WANT YOU TO HURT
I JUST WANT TO PLAY

DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
NO, DON'T LET ME
DON'T LET ME DOWN
NO, OHH
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
DON'T LET ME DOWN
NO, NO, NO, NO
DON'T LET ME DOWN
NO, OHH
