I can see the picture, Not the way you paint it
And you can tell your story, It ain't nothing like I heard it
I'm holding out for justice, While living on a prayer
Pondering on the meaning of such a troubled peace

Verse 1
I count the lives and all the years 
That have faded in struggle 
And settled on generations
Who neither love nor hate

And while we dream indifferent fears
Truth is caught in the middle
With little right and so much wrong 
How will we change our fate
 
Bridge 1
Every new arrival to the storm
Fights a little less to make things normal
So yet another brother falls
I for one don't wanna go that way
Here I stand my ground so here I stay
There'll be no fuss or frettin' when destiny calls

Verse 2
I felt the truth and saw the truth 
But It was gone in a second
And so I searched but searched in vain 
For a second glimpse of hope 

Now I can't stop, why should I doubt
I know some one will listen
To broken hearts  and promises
That may live but never cope

Bridge 2
Every little mystery that we solve
Is the brand new puzzle that evolves 
But ain't no answer to the fundamental game
What we say we will we seldom can 
Can't be failing to some greater plan
Sometimes what I got and living ain't quite the same

Mid 8
no more words,  what difference do they make 
to a picture of so much heart break 

Sometimes I don't wanna go on and then I see my babies laugh and cry 
and then I know for them I got to try to paint a different picture

Ad libs and Choruses out till fade
