If only they knew what we're doing Who knows, we might have a chance If only they'd hear what I'm saying God knows, we might have a chance To make a contribution A standing Institution I remember the dream Who can see where we're going? Maybe there's room for a change Time slips like sand through my fingers Sometime I feel so old Is it worth the mind games? Am I going insane? Oh, come in from the cold I wanna make it in my own time For absent friends and faces I wanna stay when the lights go up The show it wasn't wasted I wanna make it in my own time For absent friends and faces I wanna stay when the lights go up In a sea of faces Why am I always the loser? God knows I'm not like the rest You can survive on the surface I wish I could too Always walking the same road Always carrying the same load Come in from the cold I wanna make it in my own time For absent friends and faces I wanna stay when the lights go up The show it wasn't wasted I wanna make it in my own time For absent friends and faces I wanna stay when the lights go up In a sea of faces
