| Wipe the tears from your eyes
|
| It’s time for leaving but not goodbye
|
| You don’t know what it’s like
|
| They went and took the best years of my life
|
| And they broke all our hearts
|
| But not our spirit while we were apart
|
| Now it’s their turn to pay
|
| But they can’t give back what they took away
|
| Oh I’ve waited such a long time
|
| That I can’t believe it’s true
|
| That somebody finally realized
|
| It wasn’t me or you
|
| I wanna stand on the streets tonight
|
| Out of the shadows and into the light
|
| I wanna stand on the streets tonight
|
| Out of the shadows and into the light
|
| Who do you think you are?
|
| If you’ve got problems I’ll show you my scars
|
| So don’t turn away, you better listen
|
| I’ve something to say
|
| There’s a wrong and a right
|
| And there’s a law if you’re black or you’re white
|
| So we all make mistakes
|
| Like being born in the wrong time and place
|
| Crossing weeks and months off on a wall
|
| Counting hours in a day
|
| Writing letters well into the night
|
| There was no other way
|
| I wanna stand on the streets tonight
|
| Out of the shadows and into the light
|
| I wanna stand on the streets tonight
|
| Out of the shadows and into the light
|
| I’ll take it all, take what’s mine
|
| Cause all i ever got was time
|
| Take it all, take what’s mine
|
| And maybe it will work out fine
|
| Wipe the tears from your eyes
|
| It’s time for leaving but not goodbye
|
| You don’t know what it’s like
|
| They went and took the best years of my life
|
| And they broke all our hearts
|
| But not our spirit while we were apart
|
| Now it’s their turn to pay
|
| But they can’t give back what they took away
|
| I wanna stand on the streets tonight
|
| Out of the shadows and into the light
|
| I wanna stand on the streets tonight
|
| Out of the shadows and into the light |
