I can't tell you
I can't tell you how many times that I've wanted, I've wanted to quit
I can't tell you
I can't tell you how many times that I've wanted, I've wanted to run

But I gotta stay strong
Gotta stay strong, my friend
Gotta stay strong
There's no one in the end to watch you run

Keep step with me
If you fall back, take a breath
Keep me in your mind
There's no one left here to my spine, move every step
And you're one step closer to escape
Realizing all is fate, illusion of being awake
Hope my son knows that he's made to walk the sun
You can run, decide to fight or fly, away
Choose to ride the lightning miles away
I hope my son know that he's made to walk the sun
I hope my son know daddy's proud of what he's done
I hope you live to shoot another day
You better of brought some bullets in your gun
The night, the day, the time decay
Our bodies escape from us
Why do we have to pray on each other quite so much?
There is no answer to these questions, learn your lesson
Walk away from awesome power
Lessons come with practice
On our backs is all this weight
Some can't handle knowin' it's their fate

And they wanna go back, oh, yeah
And they tryna go back, oh, yeah
But there ain't no goin' back, oh, no
Yeah, there's only one back, oh, yeah
And they wanna go back, oh, yeah
Yeah, they tryna go back, oh, yeah
But there ain't no goin' back, oh, no
Yeah, there's only one back, oh, yeah

I can't tell you
I can't tell you how many times that I've wanted, I've wanted to quit
I can't tell you
I can't tell you how many times that I've wanted, I've wanted to run

But I gotta stay strong (Gotta stay strong), my friend
But I gotta stay strong (But I gotta stay strong), in the end
To watch you run
