[Verse 1]
Searching for truth can be a fool's game
Some people lie right through the smiles
Don't rip the heart off of your sleeve

[Chorus]
And is it wrong to carry on with all you ever knew?
The curtain's drawn, you're hanging on to all you thought was true
You know the answer isn't lost on you
'Cause I know the answer isn't lost on you

[Verse 2]
You've got your own fight to choose
And the world might kick you when you're down
They count you out, but you refuse
You might lie bleeding on the ground

[Chorus]
Close your eyes, realize some hearts can't be sewn
Your only crime is being alive, you know you're not alone
You are the answer you've been looking for
You are the answer you've been looking for

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Sometimes you know that it ain't easy
We're on our own from the day we're born
Don't let the bastards steal your soul
'Cause then you'll see you're gold
You're gold
The world is crazy again
She said it's never been sane
Oh
[Chorus]
Here we are, you and me, trying to make the changes
And I believe I can see a better time
'Cause you are the answer you've been looking for
You are the answer I've been looking for

[Outro]
You are the answer
