I was walking all alone through a sideshow
With passion and pain on each side
Something inside me was calling
For a chance to stay alive

At the time I didn't know what was calling
As my head was buried in grief
Today I heard what was crying
My freedom calling me

And we all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is simple
Passion over pain

When I got to the end of the sideshow
And looked back to where I had been
My eyes filled with teardrops of loneliness
For the ones who'll never be free

And we all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is simple
Passion over pain

I thought of the children in the sideshow
As they wandered around so confused
Some day they'll make their decision
But which one will they choose
And we'll all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is simple
Passion over pain

And we'll all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is simple
Passion, passion over pain

And we'll all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is a simple one
Passion over pain
