Every mistake we think we make Is just part of the road we pave Every enemy could be an angel to light the way Our problems won't define us Instead we'll let them guide us Through the storms, through the cold Keep both eyes on the road Only the brave defy the odds Stand tall, risk it all Don't let yourself come to a stop Stand tall, risk it all Every mistake we think we make Is just part of the road we pave Every enemy could be an angel to light the way Our barricades, must be broken down Our barricades, control us if we let them hold us down We can't wait for the fortune to find us Let the lost battles remind us We can imagine and play pretend But this journey never ends We're in this together Our hands tied behind our backs I promise you we'll make it out alive Every mistake we think we make Is just part of the road we pave Every enemy could be an angel to light the way Our barricades, must be broken down Our barricades, control us if we let them hold us down Oh, oh, we can't let them hold us down Oh, oh, no we won't let them hold us down Take me back to younger dreams When times were easy and we believed

Running down around the towns along the shore When I was sixteen and on my own No, I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for I was just trying to hear my song Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar We'd all get in the van and play Life became the Paradox, the Bear, the Rouge et Noir And the stretch of road running to LA Pages turning Pages we were years from learning Straight into the night our hearts were flung Better bring your own redemption when you come To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from All the world was shining from those hills The stars above and the lights below Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills I lost track of the score long ago Pages turning Pages we were years from learning Straight into the night our hearts were flung Better bring your own redemption when you come To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from Childhood comes for me at night Voices of my friends Your face bathing me in light Hope that never ends Pages turning Pages torn and pages burning Faded pages, open in the sun Better bring your own redemption when you come To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from Better bring your own redemption when you come To the barricades of Heaven where I'm from
