when the day is done

feels like i'm falling face first

down a flight of stairs

my jaw breaks the fall

my teeth are everywhere

but i'm a quick study

pain doesn't bother me

it teaches me lessons

corrects the weakness within

when the day is done

i'll stand triumphantly

when the day is done

i won't be washed away

after i fall

i'll fly on broken wings

dreams come true

nothing ventured nothing gained

i reject this risk nothing society

pain building character

teaching humility

i reject the weakness living inside of me

pain building character

teaching humility

i won't be led astray

in our culture that is so insane

no guts no glory

no pleasure no pain

everyday you have

you've got to step up to the plate

when the day is done

i'll stand triumphantly

when the day is done

i won't be washed away

after i fall

i'll fly on broken wings

dreams come true

nothing ventured nothing gained

accept the pain

breathe it in

and walk away

accept the pain

breathe it in

and walk away

accept the pain

breathe it in

and walk away

accept the pain

breathe it in

and walk away

accept the pain

breathe it in

and walk away

when the day is done

i'll stand triumphantly

when the day is done

i won't be washed away

after i fall

i'll fly on broken wings

dreams come true

nothing ventured nothing gained
