Just leaving footprints in the sand
I built with my own hands
The shores of my despair
I can't believe there's nothing more
I'll struggle till I'm sore
To find escape somewhere

Nobody's supposed to feel like this
One's chance to shine with so much risk
It's a game of chances now
And the odds aren't on my side
Drowning, I scream for someone's aid
No one can hear the noises fade
I need the chance to rise
From darkness, from oceans to skies

I'd rise above the waves and storm
And find help to reform
The pattern that I'm in
I built a cage around my life
Gave my enemies a knife
But I won't dare fall again

Nobody's supposed to feel like this
One's chance to shine with so much risk
It's a game of chances now
And the odds aren't on my side
Drowning, I scream for someone's aid
No one can hear the noises fade
I need the chance to rise
From darkness, from oceans to skies
Give me a chance for one last try
Play the game or we all die
The water here is rising
We've all been down and out before
So join me in the war
Against the self-destructing

Nobody's supposed to feel like this
One's chance to shine with so much risk
It's a game of chances now
And the odds aren't on my side
Drowning, I scream for someone's aid
No one can hear the noises fade
I need the chance to rise
From darkness, from oceans to skies

Letting go of hopes divine
Giving in to dreams of mine
Spreading wings and taking...
Flight
When the past still lies in waste
The future's something to embrace
Moving forward, shining...
Bright

Nobody's supposed to feel like this
One's chance to shine with so much risk
It's a game of chances now
And the odds aren't on my side
Drowning, I scream for someone's aid
No one can hear the noises fade
I need the chance to rise
From darkness, from oceans to skies
