Standing at the gates of Forever How can I choose the way - what are the rules? Here the roads of life come together The roads of heroes, saints and fools Staring in the face of dilemma My shadow whispers, Turn for home - but here I go Stepping through the door to Forever I never thought my fear would show What now, where is the future? I'll show you three roads now you choose the way Who are these wardens who call me? A soldier, a priest and a jester, OK? Wake up, our freedom is calling, fight for the right and you might set us free Wake up, wake up, wake up and a hero you'll be Stand up, creatures of mercy, reach for the Bible and march with the Lord Stand up, stand up, stand up and the saints will applaud Look out, don't let 'em fool ya, you'll never score if you stick to the rules Look out, look out, look out for the ones they call fools Come on, you've got to be kidding, what if I don't want to be what you say? Come on, come on, come on oh there must be a way Johnny was a loser from the start He listened to the wardens instead of his heart I don't want to be a hero, a saint or a fool I just want to win like they taught me at school Forward lead the roads, roads to freedom What a price I'll have to pay - I should have known Even heroes cry, yes you've seen them I think I'll take the road for home Turning from the gates of forever How could I choose the way - what are the rules? I know I had the chance, but I'll leave it To all you heroes, saints and fools Look out! Never be a loser from the start Take all your chances and follow your heart I know I ain't a hero, a saint or a fool, I just want to win like they taught me at school
