Waiting for years in the dirt and the tears is no compromise
E C#m
Stand up and fight for the right to be someone in others' eyes
E C#m
The popular sin of us all giving in won't reveal the prize

[Verse]
E C#m
Running up hills and the battle of wills used to wear you down
E C#m
The pressures of life used to cut like a knife at this humble clown
E C#m
The taunts and the jokes of the carnival chokes on your fearful cries
E C#m
The popular sin of us all giving in won't reveal the prize
[Chorus]
E C#m G#m F#
The prize is worth the working for
E C#m G#m F#
The prize is worth the waiting for
