lyrics:

I was walking alone thru a side show

With passion and pain on each side.

Something inside me was calling

For a chance to stay alive.



At the time I didn't know what was calling

As my head was buried in grief.

Today I heard what was crying.

My FREEDOM calling me



And we all make our choices

Like a blind man feels his way,

And the choice I've made is simple:

Passion over pain.



When I got to the end of the side show

And looked back to where I had been,

My eyes filled with teardrops of loneliness

For the ones who will never be free



And we all make our choices

Like a blind man feels his way,

And the choice I've made is simple:

Passion over pain.



I thought of the children in the side show

As they wandered around so confused.

Some day they'll make their decision

But which one will they choose?



And we all make our choices

Like a blind man feels his way,

And the choice I've made is simple:

Passion over pain.
