Can we decide on how we want to live our lives?
Should we continue as we fall?
Are we expecting to be chosen by a God
Or are we trapped within these walls?

'Cause I want to believe
That compassion could be the cure
There is no one to turn to
When times are hard you're standing on your own

The winds are blowing harder
Yet we stand still
'Cause sometimes to try is not enough

Right here we're going nowhere
No one believes
That happiness can't be bought

Walking together we can reach the mountain top
'Cause every step will make us strong
Even if others tell us we should be apart
Both of us know where we belong

And I do not believe
That your riches will make you whole
The image you abandon
Is part of you whoever you become

The winds are blowing harder
Yet we stand still
'Cause sometimes to try is not enough

Right here we're going nowhere
No one believes
That happiness can't be bought

Right here we'll stay
Right here we're standing tall all alone

The winds are blowing harder
Yet we stand still
'Cause sometimes to try is not enough

Right here we're going nowhere
No one believes
That happiness can't be bought
