Haken
Because It’s There
[Intro]
Life is a dream
A gift we receive
To live and to love
We forge the path

Our nightmare in birth (Dream this life)
Our struggle for worth (Forge a path)
In vain we carry on (Please take this gift)
Our mission to become (To live, to love)

Adapt to this world
This chance we must take
We'll sing our song
We'll play our hand

[Verse 1]
Why allow (Broken world)
This crooked fate? (Retaliate)
The tunnel's light (Accept defeat)
Is unmoving
(Don't be afraid) It burns your eyes
(Obscures the path) But you persevere
(You must adapt) Because it's there

[Chorus]
Climb, find your way
Scale high, don't look back
With hope you will find
The life you seek
[Bridge]
Judgement from birth
Criticize our worth
We struggled to uphold
Struck down, will we fold?

[Chorus 2]
Climb, find your way
I wish I could be someone, be the moon and be the sun
Ambition burned my wings ablaze, I shed a tear in these dark days
Scale high, don't look back
Tearing down the walls of love, soaring through the fire above
Pride exists to be reclaimed, roll the dice, don't lose the game
With hope you will find
Carry the weight of the world, the summit says I'll prove my worth
Let me claim what's rightfully yours to take and mine to keep
The life you seek
Stars begin to swarm around the path of fate, this tired ground
Challenge met but all the while, a mountain built on greed and guile
