We're all searching for purpose For a reason to be alive For anything we can find that makes All the hard times worth the sacrifice But we're still stuck in the same place Filled with memories and regret Suffocating on our hopes and all of The dreams that we wish we could forget I will not fade away Will not go gentle into the night Rise up and face the day Rage against the dying light I will not fade away I will not fade away We all long for the future But we can't escape the past As our lives pass us by like they're Constantly draining sand in an hour glass I've spent my years paying off my debts Still held back by the things that I wish I could forget I will not fade away Will not go gentle into the night Rise up and face the day Rage against the dying light We try to burn the past away In the fire and the flames Through it all our scars remain but I won't fade I will not fade away There's so many people wasting their lives But at the end of my days I won't say that I've wasted mine I will not fade away Will not go gentle into the night Rise up and face the day Rage against the dying light We try to burn the past away In the fire and the flames Through it all our scars remain but I won't fade I will not fade away
