Been running in place for such a long time Stuck in a race in the wrong line When it all came down on me. And I haven't had faith for such a long time Am I outta place or out of my mind Should it all fall down on me Its not enough to live so just dream Its not enough to live so just dream Its not enough to live so just dream Its not enough to sing so just scream You'll never know If you don't let it out You've had enough They'll call your bluff You cant back down lost in a crowd You've won the right to scream and shout They'll talk about you lost your cool There is no point who makes the rules So lets get to it Now you'll prove it Break out Scream and shout Scream and shout Scream and shout Scream and shout Been running in place for such a long time Stuck in a race in the wrong line When it all came down on me. And I haven't had faith for such a long time Am I outta place or out of my mind Should it all fall down on me Its not enough to live so just dream Its not enough to live so just dream Its not enough to live so just dream Its not enough to sing so just scream Sound the alarm Raise your arms Your on your own Your not alone Big city got you on the ground Afraid to fight don't make a sound So lets get to it Now you'll prove it Push back Scream and shout Scream and shout Scream and shout Scream and shout Been running in place for such a long time Stuck in a race in the wrong line When it all came down on me. And I haven't had faith for such a long time Am I outta place or out of my mind Should it all fall down on me Its not enough to live so just dream Its not enough to live so just dream Its not enough to live so just dream Its not enough to sing so just scream
