I know you're all alone tonight
   And I hear your cries
   From the world that lies
   Beyond these lives
   You've got dreams inside
   They cut
   I know
   Cut so deep but you never show
   That's the price you pay
   That's the price you pay
  
   Is your soul on the line my dear
   As you take your bows
   To a silent crowd
   That never hears
   Close your eyes for now
   And leave your rage
   Take my hand and walk the stage
  
   That's the price you pay
   That's the price you pay
   That's the price you pay
   That's the price you pay
  
   There's no need to worry
   Cause you have tomorrows
   Another phase of life has begun
   Am I getting through to you?
  
   Can your mind reach beyond tonight
   I believe your love for life
   Will never die
   So my child you ask
   What does this mean
   Cut the chains and chase the dream
  
   That's the price you pay
   That's the price you pay
   That's the price you pay
   That's the price you pay
   Ooh yeah
   That's the price you pay
   When you come here to play
