Just leaving footprints in the sand I built with my own hands The shores of my despair I can't believe there's nothing more I'll struggle 'till I'm sore To find escape somewhere Nobody's supposed to feel like this One's chance to shine with so much risk It's a game of chances now And the odds aren't on my side Drowning, I scream for someone's aid No one can hear the noises fade I need the chance to rise From darkness, from oceans to skies I'd rise above the waves and storm And find help to reform The pattern that I'm in I built a cage around my life Gave my enemies a knife But I won't dare fall again Nobody's supposed to feel like this One's chance to shine with so much risk It's a game of chances now And the odds aren't on my side Drowning, I scream for someone's aid No one can hear the noises fade I need the chance to rise From darkness, from oceans to skies Give me a chance for one last try
Play the game or we all die The water here is rising We've all been down and out before So join me in the war Against the self-destructing Nobody's supposed to feel like this One's chance to shine with so much risk It's a game of chances now And the odds aren't on my side Drowning, I scream for someone's aid No one can hear the noises fade I need the chance to rise From darkness, from oceans to skies Letting go of hopes divine Giving in to dreams of mine Spreading wings and taking... Flight When the past still lies in waste The future's something to embrace Moving forward, shining... Bright Nobody's supposed to feel like this One's chance to shine with so much risk It's a game of chances now And the odds aren't on my side Drowning, I scream for someone's aid No one can hear the noises fade I need the chance to rise From darkness, from oceans to skies
