We live and we learn
We dream then we die
We stop in concern
While chances keep on passing us by

We're looking to others
And living a lie
Why even bother
All this effort just to get by

We're placing the pieces
We're playing the game
We watch as it ceases
Looking back at what we became

No one is special
We're all just the same
With all to lose and nothing to gain

There's a line in the sand that you cannot cross
So quench your desire, desire
Don't be fooled by a dream there's no way that
You will get any higher, higher
There's a chance you'll get burned so it's better to
Extinguish your fire, your fire
And whoever tells you to go follow your dream
Is a liar, a liar
(A liar)

There's no way of taking
Before we receive
The future we're making
Is in the fabric we weave

Don't let no one tell you
What you should believe
There's no limit to what you can achieve

There's a line in the sand that you cannot cross
So quench your desire, desire
Don't be fooled by a dream there's no way that
You will get any higher, higher
There's a chance you'll get burned so it's better to
Extinguish your fire, your fire
And whoever tells you to go follow your dream
Is a liar, a liar

It's not enough, this can't be all
It's not enough, don't let me fall
It's not enough, I won't give up until
I climb atop this wall

It's not enough, this can't be all
It's not enough, don't let me fall
It's not enough, you can beat me around
But you'll never see me crawl
You'll never see me crawl

There's a line in the sand that you cannot cross
So quench your desire, desire
Don't be fooled by a dream there's no way that
You will get any higher, higher
There's a chance you'll get burned so it's better to
Extinguish your fire, your fire
And whoever tells you to go follow your dream
Is a liar, a liar
(A liar, a liar, a liar)
