LYRICS:
Somewhere life is good, and things go as they should 
it's hard to find, but that?s alright yeah 
Searching for the way, push harder everyday 
It's deep inside, that shining light yeah 
But I'm scarred, by barriers placed in my path 
I'm scathed 

This ride that takes me through life 
Leads me into darkness but emerges into light 
No one can ever slow me down 
I'll stay unbound 
 
Sometimes when we're young, and always on the run 
It gets so dark and I know that place yeah 
So don't be too concerned, you've got a lot to learn 
Well so do I and we've got plenty of time yeah 
Don't fall off the track yet with so many races to go 
Hold on 

This ride that takes me through life 
Leads me into darkness but emerges into light 
No one can ever slow me down 
I'll stay unbound 

Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own 
But living in fear, endless shame for countless years 
I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day 
I never viewed my life as something... slipping away  

Some live so wrong, with what we do is each his own 
But living in fear, endless shame for countless years 
I never lived in fear I knew I'd die another day 
I never viewed my life as something... slipping away 

There's nothing here to take for granted 
with each breath that we take 
the hands of time strip youth from our bodies, 
we fade, 
memories remain, 
as time goes on 

There's nothing here to take for granted 
with each breath that we take 
the hands of time strip youth from our bodies, 
we fade, 
memories remain, 
as time goes on
