My eyes are hanging down,
I’ve seen this scene a thousand times.
People walking through the streets
Like shadows passing mine.

Faces carrying their sorrow,
Eyes that haven’t slept for days.
Everybody’s hiding something,
Everybody’s lost their way.

And what’s waiting up ahead
Is more than I can understand.
Pain is standing at the doorway,
And horror’s reaching for my hand.

Face the horror,
On this side of life.
Face the darkness,
Face the endless night.

I’ve got to find an answer,
I’ve got to find a way.
I’ve got to find some kind of rescue
Before I lose another day.

Face the horror,
On this side of the shore.
This is life we’re living,
And I can’t run anymore.

I’ve seen a thousand empty faces,
I’ve seen people lose their names.
Some are drowning in their sorrow,
Some are burning in the flames.

There’s a man who lost his family,
There’s a woman with no home.
There’s a child who learned too early
What it means to be alone.

And the more I look around me,
The less I understand.
How much suffering can we carry
Before we finally make a stand?

Face the horror,
On this side of life.
Face the darkness,
Face the endless night.

I’ve got to find an answer,
I’ve got to find a way.
I’ve got to find some kind of rescue
Before I lose another day.

Face the horror,
On this side of the shore.
This is life we’re living,
And I can’t run anymore.

No river’s wide enough
To wash this pain away.
No distant shore can save us
From the things we face today.

So open up your eyes,
Don’t turn your face away.
The horror’s on this side of life,
And we’re standing here today.

Face the horror,
On this side of life.
Face the darkness,
Face the endless night.

I’ve got to find an answer,
I’ve got to find a way.
I’ve got to find some kind of rescue
Before I lose another day.

Face the horror,
On this side of the shore.
This is life we’re living,
And I can’t run anymore.

My eyes are hanging down…
But I’m still looking.

I’ve seen a thousand shadows…
But I’m still here.

On this side of life…
On this side of the shore…

I’ve got to find an answer.

I’ve got to find a way.
