Lead vocals by tommy shawHaven't we been here before
Footsteps lead down to the note on the door
That says I can't stay here anymoreAnd haven't we felt this same way
Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same
To say I can't stay one minute moreYou might think that it's hopeless
Beyond our control
But that's not necessarily so
Can't you see there's a chance
For the daring young soul
Who's finally learned to say noNo, I won't be misused
Ignored or refused
And I won't just give up and let goSo tonight hold me close to you
And don't give up what's important to you
And as time rolls on
Nothing can stand in our wayAnd I believe if we learn from the past
We'd say haven't we been here before
Oh, and I believe if we open our hearts
We'd find keys to unlock every door
Dark would turn into light
We'd be strong
We'd be rightSo tonight hold me close to you
And don't give up what's important to you
And as time rolls on
Nothing will stand in our wayAnd I believe if we learn from the past
We'd say haven't we been here before
Oh, and I believe if we open our hearts
We'd find keys to unlock every door
Hearts could change overnight
We'd be strong...we'd be right
So stay with me now
The future is ours
And we'll be the ones who go on
