Lyrics
When you mind is thawed and all your thoughts come pouring forth
Will you act upon the visions that you own?
Will you take a stand naked and alone?
Can you stand the shame of maybe being wrong?
Are you ever gonna make it happen or is it only talk
That keeps the dream just floating 'round?
Are we ever gonna see a change made like that you say you want?
And if you fail will you carry on?
When your heart is brave and all the thrill comes rushing on
Will you keep your head and step into the throng?
Will you take a stand against any vicious wind that might tear at you
And try to do you in?
Those gripes we've heard before
Those plans are getting old
Windless sails will never take you too far
When your resolve is strong and every bone within you cries
Will you lead the way beyond those repeating lies?
Will you give it up for something else unknown?
For those vague rewards that make life worth living for?
