I'm a soldier of circumstance nWho always needs a second chance nTrying to prove myself to the worldnOver and over and over and over againnMan, I'm tired of getting burnednI guess it's time that I finally learned nTo never need anything nThat means nothing to me...nn(chorus)nSlow down this train cause I want to get off nSlow down the pain I need to loosen life's grip nI need to loosen up...nnNow I seem to recognize nMy past, the tears I used to crynNever again will I roll over and die nCause my life made me who I am nAnd I finally understand nThat there's beauty in chaos nWho cares about the meaning of life...nn(chorus)nnAnd I'm not going to watch life pass me by nMotivation is only one reason why nThis world can't take me nSo watch me while I trynYeah, I'm going to try nAnd I'm not gonna wait around for someone to save me… yeah...nn(solo)n(chorus)nnSlow down this train cause I want to get off nSlow down this pain cause I need to get off...nAnd I'm not going to let life pass me bynMotivation is only one reason whynThis world cant take menSo watch me while I try!
