How many times

Do we tire of all the little battles

Threaten to call it quits

Tempted to cut and run

How many times

Do we weather out the stormy evenings

Long to slam the front door

Drive away into the setting sun



Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn

We could be down and gone

But we hold on



How many times

Do we chaff against the repetition

Straining against the faith

Measured out in coffee breaks

How many times

Do we swallow our ambition

Long to give up the same old way

Find another road to take



Keep holding on so long

Cause theres a chance that we might not be so wrong

We could be down and gone

But we hold on



How many times

Do we wonder if it's even worth it

Theres got to be some other way

Way to get me through the day



Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn

We could be down and gone

But we hold on
