Listen, can you hear the whistling through the trees?
And then all at once, it falls so silent it seems
Just like the shattered hopes that are inside
Reaching and gripping, never to be set free
Just like the neverending brutality of life
Can you honestly stand before and tell me
That there's nothing wrong in our lives?
Tell me everything's just the way it should be
And everyone's lives are simple and carefree?
Let reality hit you with the truth, 'cause its not
Stop keeping yourself locked up in your fantasy
Reach out and grasp the hard, bitter truths
Because they're just not going to disappear
If anything, they're be set loose even harder
Beating us down with the force of their jeers
And through this all, we still don't fall
Why should we, we've been standing this long
And no matter what we may overcome
We'll still defeat all challenges one way or another
And if not alone, then together
