The truth is they don't give us much time
And it wears us down and keeps fuelin the grind
We take our shots and shield our pride
We lift those stones with the fire inside
Runnin through a maze and we're trying to get ahead
In a rat race chasin for our daily bread
There's no finish line out there in the streets
Well what if there's somethin more than what your eyes beleive
Now that I can see this
Light on down the road
So far I know there's something else
If I live or die I know it won't be easy
Past the gates of heaven and hell
It's hard to know where it starts or ends
It's the simple things that keep pullin us in
We own these chains that pull the weight
And do our best just to dance with fate
And what if there's more than your heart can bleed
When the signs aren't clear and it's hard to breathe
And you're so fed up with how it's supposed to be
There's gotta be somethin more than what your eyes believe
Now that I can see this
Light on down the road
So far I know there's something else
If I live or die I know it won't be easy
Past the gates of heaven and hell
Am I standin on hollow ground
Cause there's nowhere left to run to now
And it's takin its toll
It wears on my soul
I know there must be somethin else
Past the gates of heaven
Past the gates of heaven
Past the gates of heaven and hell
Now that I can see this
Light on down the road
So far I know there's something else
If I live or die I know it won't be easy
Past the gates of heaven and hell
