hours eat the days
waiting for it's dark veil to fall
and the wine uses it's legs
to run with open thought

let's open up the cage
to see if this young bird can fly
and take this empty stage
before we say goodnight

and don't give us away
cause we can make it work
for another day in this light
if all we need is change
let's make change today
to keep us doing fine the rest of our lives

actions make the waves
beating swollen shores
and this water paints a page
much too blurred to understand

cause we should act our age
walking paths circular
and these rings make a cage
around these wings that should be free

so don't throw us away
cause we can make it work
for another day in this light
if all we need is change
let's make change today
to keep us doing fine the rest of our lives
if all we need is time
to change these stupid ways
we could be just fine
and all need is this change to make it work
you've got to believe

we started this so long ago
young and innocent
we began to grow
then time ticked by
leaving us cold
now we feel the weight

but we can make it
if we're strong enough
we've got to stand up and fight
cause we're strong enough
it doesn't mean we have to be one
but we're strong enough
