when you look at this life you see economic gain and opportunity   and when we look at this world we see all the truth of life, the love and misery   and though the world doesn't change at all, it's seen through different eyes   and when in one day it can be undone each day becomes a prize   well, i guess we served our time, but our time was not enough   and we tried to see it through like a diamond in the rough   with every layer stripped away you realize the prize you sought   and it's bargain of the day until you find out what you bought   not quite unconcious, we try to know ourselves   but we don't have much time   with your distractions, politics, your wealth   your life has left you blind   the sun is down, the light has broken   the end. we're going home   everything you wanted to say, everything you wanted to do   everything you wanted to be   you'd trade it all for one more day   the end. we're going home   you waited for us and now we're headed home
