Like a weathered statue
I will wait for you
Like the darkness fading
Waiting to see it through
Like an ardent cry
Wakes me from the silence of my sleep
Like a distant bell
Like a man who fights the system
Fights to keep
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/good+riddance/static_20329221.html ]
If you have to ask the price you can't afford it
There's nothing free in this world
There's nothing free in this life

Like a super hero
I'll try to save the world
With an anesthetic
To lift a thousand fingers
Like a man accused
I'll weigh the consequence
Like a man afraid
Of the madness just beyond the picket fence
