so take all your money and all you've gained
put it all together and see how much you have saved
and take all your sorrow and all your pain,
put it all to use and see if you still can complain
cause when the lights go out and you think your time has come
cause your sick of all the hiding and your sick of all the runnin
when the lights go out you better wait, and see who remains
it does'nt matter if you like it, or even if you care, if you wanna make it in this life
you better make it somehow, someway
so except all the pushin and except all the shoving
put that shit behind you, and except what you've learned today
because today is the day, if your gonna make a change
to except the possibilities and make the exchange
and don't be frightened if you think what's new is strange
because it may take a while for the pace to re-arrange
so take a moment, relax, as a matter for a fact
because the train can't travel if it's coming off the track
and if you like the new you then you will always be true
to yourself and to your peers and to the ones you've always feared
and if you need a little something, to keep your ass straight
just remember all the people in this life who can relate
cause when the time has come jjst to make a new way
just remember what you've learned and you can make it through the day

and see who remains in the struggle when you've got a task to tackle
ya think the bottle's gonna get ya cause the shoe it just dont fit ya
i got news for you my friend, your not much closer the end than you have been in the past. but you've revived yourself so fast
so when the lights go out and you think your time has come
because your sick of all the hiding and your sick of all the running
when the lights go out, its time to wait wait wait
and SEE WHO REMAINS...
