The Price lyrics

How long I have wanted this dream to come true

And as it approaches, I can't believe I'm through

I've tried, oh, how I've tried

For a life, yes a life, I thought I knew

Oh, it's the price we gotta pay and all the games we gotta play

Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on

'Cause it's a game we gotta lose, though it's a life we gotta choose

And the price is our own life until it's done

Time seems to have frozen but the mind can be fooled

As the days pass I discover, destiny just can't be ruled

Hard times, oh, hard times

For the prize, yes the prize, I thought I knew

Oh, it's the price we gotta pay and all the games we gotta play

Makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on

'Cause it's a game we gotta lose, though it's a life we gotta choose

And the price is our own life until it's done
