lyrics

Ryan was living in a hard one. When you ain't got a reason, to fight is all you can do.
Here's to madness, every night you could have had it.
So stand up tall and show the people one more time, and make us proud
How long, how long is the distance 'cross the coast. How far from your home town?
Who knows from all the stories you've been told have been well fought, Ryan give 'em your best shot.

You've had your time to dream, so lets live it, every minute left in our city. Fight the morning light tomorrow. Boy it's sad to see, so sad to see you leave. Give 'em all your worth when you ain't got allot. Fighting for your brother no matter who gets shot. Everybody in this club has seen the love you got. Ready or not?
Lives spent have been sent 'cross that same distance everyday. Have they been forgotten? It ain't the score, it's the story of an average teenage boy. Ryan, give 'em all you got.

You've got the right to back down. It's suicide, so unholy once you step inside. Why won't you, why won't you stay? Don't fight another day. You hold up glory in the state of an emergency. Why won't you, why won't you stay? Don't fight another day. You'll come home some day. When it comes down to it and its do or die. Nobodies gonna help you on the other side, so stand up. Ryan give 'em your best shot. Oh, give 'em your best shot. Ryan, give 'em all you got. You don't have to go away. Ryan don't fight another day. Oh Ryan don't go, don't throw your life away.
