There ain't no way to start over
And there ain't no way to stop the rain
And there ain't no way to make it back again
And there ain't no way to dull the pain
There ain't no way to comprehend
The things that's been going on today
So you better beware of who you talk to
And you better be careful what you say
Redemption now is obsolete
There ain't nobody getting saved
Salvation's not available here in the home of the brave, no. no

Cutting loose and holding on
And I look up and I look down
We're here one day and then we're gone
To the sky and to the ground
Take whatever you can get 
Seems to be the only rule
Some folks tell me I'm a wise man
And some folks tell me I'm a fool
So I look to the masters
For the story that they tell
They seems to have the inside knowledge
That we may all end up in hell

Now my life appears before me
And I can see it all so clear
And I think I'm just starting to understand
The reason I am here
And I'm grateful for the beauty 
I've seen with my own eyes
I'm shaken by the ugliness 
And the sound of people's cries
Hatred screams so loudly
Greed wears a thin disguise
Now we all know the loneliness
Of so many sad goodbyes 

So many sad goodbyes 
So many sad goodbyes 
So many sad goodbyes 
Goodbye, goodbye
