(spooner/steen/prince/welnick/cotten/anderson/waybill) When you're always chasing rainbows And you might not know which way the wind blows You say your lucky day is comin' Until that day you're just slummin' So you wait and you wait but the signal don't change Watching tv daily there is no sign You read your horoscope But ahh, it would appear there is no hope So what? Who cares? Gotta put a handle On your fear A man comes And a man goes And he always leaves alone Only the strong survive You better wake up from that fantasy It's time to open your eyes Don't be afraid to see what you might see The years roll by and the boy feels cheated He fights back hard, his youth's retreated He lets his hair grow, gets a sports car But he knows that won't go so far It's too bad It's real sad You lost the best thing You ever had You had some hope
And you had the youth But now you'll never Know the truth Only the strong survive You better wake up from that fantasy I think it's time to open your eyes Don't be afraid to see what you might see Only the strong survive Don't ever let it get you down Oh, i can't sympathize If you expect to stick around So what? Who cares? Better put a handle On your fear A man comes And a man goes And he always leaves alone Only the strong survive You better wake up from that fantasy I think it's time you opened your eyes Don't be afraid to see what you might see Only the strong survive Don't ever let it get you down I think it's time to open your eyes If you expect to stick around Only the strong survive You better wake up from that fantasy I think it's time that you opened your eyes Don't be afraid to see what you might see
