You gotta stand on the dark side to see the light
Gotta ride with the wrong side to know what's right
Gotta dance to an old tune night after night
And maybe once in a blue moon they'll say you're bright

Cos what's a life, what's a life without a fight
You gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn to stay alight
What's a life, who wants a life without a fight?
It's how you learn, how you learn, how you learn that
you're alive

I have seen mysteries come to light before my eyes
Trodden roads, sailed the seas, chasing cars and
pulled in tides
I've heard tunes in the trees, I've seen colours in the skies
And it's you, and it's me, and it's coming at a price

It's a fight, what's a life without a fight
And you burn, you burn and you burn to stay alive
I said what's a life, don't want a life without a fight
And I've learned, and I've learned, and I've learned
how to survive
