It’s a shot in the dark a gamble to win
And everything you want seems so far off
And your resolve starts to bend from the weight that screams give
The odds are wearing you thin but you can’t give in
Everything’s a long shot
You can’t go back the way you came
You’ve got to give it everything you’ve got
You’ll make it OK
This is where everything breaks or bounces back
Where it fades or where it lasts
Where you see and feel the strength of what keeps you believing
The future is dark and we can’t see when
Or how our lives fit together in the end
But we’ll never give up and we’ll never give in
We don’t know where the road will lead us
Or how the years will keep us but I know our love will live on
This is where everything breaks or bounces back
Where it fades or where it lasts
Where you see and feel the strength of what keeps you believing
And it all comes down to faith that we can rule our fates
And these hard times just prove that our love is the real thing
