You gotta stand on the dark side to see the light Gotta ride with the wrong side to know what's right Gotta dance to an old tune night after night And maybe once in a blue moon, they'll say you're bright 'Cause what's a life, what's a life without a fight You gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn to stay alight What's a life, who wants a life without a fight? It's how you learn, how you learn, how you learn that you're alive I have seen mysteries come to light before my eyes Trodden roads, sailed the seas, chasing cars and pulled in tides I've heard tunes in the trees, I've seen colors in the skies And it's you and it's me and it's coming at a price It's a fight, what's a life without a fight And you burn, you burn and you burn to stay alive I said what's a life, don't want a life without a fight And I've learned, and I've learned, and I've learned how to survive
