So you're sniffing at an old perfume
Living in an empty room
And your dreams are falling out of bloom
So you ran before you learned to walk
Because your parents never had that talk
Of how to live outside these walls
But keep the faith alive
You can make it if you try
Only devils on shoulders can bring you down
You can just see the light
Shining through the night
Well the writing is done
But the battle's not won
Oh well it is no secret
All you've ever known is regret
Oh well there's a straw in the wind
But that's a problem for another day
And the cross is only yours to bear
And there's a hell of a ride out there
Oh it's written on the wall
Get ready for the future call
But your future isn't out of sight
You don't need to find another life
If only you can find the time
You can cut your fears down to size
You just need to learn to improvise
Oh there's always more to come
But keep the faith alive
You can make it if you try
Only devils on shoulders can bring you down
You can just see the light
Shining through the night
Well the writing is done
But the battle's not won
Oh well it is no secret
All you've ever known is regret
Oh well there's a straw in the wind
But that's a problem for another day
And the cross is only yours to bear
And there's a hell of a ride out there
Oh it's written on the wall
Get ready for the future call
Oh well it is no secret
All you've ever known is regret
Oh well there's a straw in the wind
But that's a problem for another day
And the cross is only yours to bear
And there's a hell of a ride out there
Oh it's written on the wall
Get ready for the future call
