Tell me now
How much longer can this go on?
Become so powerless, daylight till dawn
Robbed of my rights, left with no control
Been hard hit to the depth of my soul
Gotta find a way out, live as I choose
All I keep facing is more bad news

Tell me now
How much longer till the pain is gone?
My life's a mess, I'm played like a pawn
All my plans and dreams, lost in midair
Can't predict an hour! Going nowhere!
Need to get settled. Move on. Be me.
Go dancing and party, chance to be free.

Tell me now
How much longer can this go on?
Damned by a power, daylight till dawn
I'm suffocated, trapped, don't like going down
Won't you send these demons out of town?
Let me taste the peace, I now barely know
Show some mercy. Soften the blow.

Tell me now
Convince me the pain will be gone
I was born a player, not some pawn
Never expected life to be perfect or fair
With a dose of hope can make it anywhere
Soothe my delicate heart, with gentle voices
Whisper some magic. Bless me with choices.

Tell me now
Look up! The sky's turning gray
Not much sunshine coming my way
Help me out. Won't you please?
Can't you see? I'm on my knees.
Hope is the miracle I'm asking for.
Is there a key that unlocks my door?
