One More Time with Feeling

Your stitches are all out

But your scars are healing wrong

And the helium balloon inside your room has come undone

And it's pushing up at the ceiling

And the flickering lights it cannot get beyond

Oh everyone takes turns

Now it's yours to play the part

And they're sitting all around you

Holding copies of your chart

And the misery in their eyes

Is synchronized and reflected into yours

Hold on

One more time with feeling

Try it again

Breathing's just a rhythm

Say it in your mind

Until you know that the words are right

This is, why we, fight

Do do do do do do-we-oo-we-oo-we-oo

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do dooooooooo

You thought by now you'd be

So much better than you are

You thought by now they'd see

That you had come so far

And the pride inside their eyes

Would synchronize into a love you've never know

So much more than you've been shown

Hold on

One more time with feeling

Try it again

Breathing's just a rhythm

Say it in your mind

Until you know that the words are right

This is, why we, fight

This is, why, we fight

Do do do do do do-we-oo-we-oo-we-oo

Do do do do do do

Do do do do do dooooooooo
