The sun goes up, the sun goes down
Every day it's the same
The same old people talking
About the same old things
They don't know and they don't understand
Faking a smile and moving on
24 Hours it's the same old song
Hey, can you hear me
I wanna stand up
Want you to stand up with me
Wanna hold up a lighter
And sing you this song tonight
Living in a crowded place
And still feeling lonely
Everywhere around just silent husks
Blinded by the rush that they call life
Unable to see, without any drive
Oh, if only they could stop
And take a look at each other
At the real side that they ever mistook
Hey, can you hear me
I wanna stand up
Want you to stand up with me
Wanna hold up a lighter
And sing you this song tonight
This world's forgotten how to feel
How it feels when you laugh
How it feels when you cry
All that counts is the progress
And forever time's rushing by
In the end when they lie down
They will look at their lives
They will look at their lives
And they won't find a single thing they can hold onto now
All the money is long rotten
All the glory's long forgotten
In the end I know they will listen to this song
They will listen to this song
And sooner or later they will start to sing along
Hey, can you hear me
I wanna stand up
Want you to stand up with me
Wanna hold up a lighter
And sing you this song tonight
Hey, can you hear me
I wanna stand up
Want you to stand up with me
Wanna hold up a lighter
(Oh, if only they could stop)
(And take a look at each other)
And sing you this song tonight
(At the real side that they) ever mistook
