well, come with me if you please my dear old friend / We'll let the truth out no matter how ugly it may be / I been worried that's been burning for far too long / Yeah, come to find every time that when I reach for right I seem to wrong someone / Still I never try to justify how bridges burn / to understand what breaks a man can be the hardest lesson learned / with hands held high we take this day / salvage good left to find / weather the strain and hardening pain / salute ones long past who have seen us fall / so stick with me and we'll see this till the end / the road is hard paved with scars from times more trying than they've ever been / and maybe when we get to where the hell we're going / we'll realize just why we tried until then there's no knowing / with hands held high we take this day / salvage good left to find / weather the strain and hardening pain / embrace one we have no longer we'll fall / deepening the ashes of another day / still we sing, never will this be again / with hands held high we take this day / salvage good left to find / weathering strain and hardening pain / embrace what we have / weather the strain (weather the strain) and hardening pain (hardening pain) with hands held high we take this , we take this day!
