Verse 1:

Day after day i try to

Earn my pay

Go a little further

But the odds are never in my favor

(oh.....another)

I tell myself this can't go on

Very much longer

But when i put the last brick in the wall.....



Another brick falls



Chorus:

I try to run

I try to hide

A thorn gets stuck right in my side

I tell myself it's all a game

But the truth remains

(another)

I pick it up

I plow ahead

I think of all

I've done and said

But, it's never quite enough

Life will always be a little.....

Tough!



Verse 2:

I run my race, keep up (oh)

Pretty well, at a steady pace but

There are days i fall behind the pack

(oh.....another)

It all seems simple till it

Gets so hard to handle

From the sky

From nothing at all.....



Another brick falls



Chorus



Bridge:

Obstacles are a loss of concentration

A thought that is in total isolation

Hang on, you're headed for a ride.....

Don't stray from the path that leads you

Instincts will never deceive you

When life really kicks

Learn to catch those falling bricks



I try to run

I try to hide

A thorn gets stuck right in my side



I tell myself it's all a game



Chorus
