To bank everything on one heroic play
 But when you're waiting for your big chance
 I've come to learn that it don't go down that way
 And I'm not talking about no free ride
 I've stood by and I've watched them fade to dust
 Its not for high ideals
 'Cause you know I've tried
 At some point I think everybody must

 And you lost me there
 What's the point of playing if you're trying to win
 And I don't care
 I can't get over and I can't get in

 I wish that I could feel so free and wise
 As to satisfy the justice that I crave
 The sun will set again, the sun will rise
 In the darkness I will have to try to be brave

 And you lost me there
 What's the point of playing if you're trying to win
 And I don't care
 I can't get over and I can't get in

 In loving faith I know a time will come
 When day and night, both, you and I will see
 If thats just a prayer, that thy will be done
 Thats just the way I wanted it to be

 And you lost me there
 What's the point of playing if you're trying to win
 And I don't care
 I can't get over when I can't get in
