VERSE 1:
  Day after day I try to
  Earn my pay
  Go a little further
  But the odds are never in my favor
  (Oh.....Another)
  I tell myself this can't go on
  Very much longer
  But when I put the last brick in the wall.....
  
  Another brick falls
  
  CHORUS:
  I try to run
  I try to hide
  A thorn gets stuck right in my side
  I tell myself it's all a game
  But the truth remains
  (Another)
  I pick it up
  I plow ahead
  I think of all
  I've done and said
  But, it's never quite enough
  Life will always be a little.....
  Tough!
  
  VERSE 2:
  I run my race, keep up (oh)
  Pretty well, at a steady pace but
  There are days I fall behind the pack
  (Oh.....Another)
  It all seems simple till it
  Gets so hard to handle
  From the sky
  From nothing at all.....
  
  Another brick falls
  
  CHORUS
  
  BRIDGE:
  Obstacles are a loss of concentration
  A thought that is in total isolation
  Hang on, you're headed for a ride.....
  Don't stray from the path that leads you
  Instincts will never deceive you
  When life really kicks
  Learn to catch those falling bricks
  
  I try to run
  I try to hide
  A thorn gets stuck right in my side
  
  I tell myself it's all a game
  
  CHORUS
