Everyone says sooner or later you'll reach the end of the line
  When things get rough some think it's easy to jump the ship . . .
  You decide
  
  I say--don't throw it away
  There's about a million reasons why
  Though you've heard them all before
  And you're getting very tired
  Lay your head on my lap and I'll sing you this lullaby
  
  CHORUS
  Don't you know
  That everyone around you
  Has felt the pain you feel today
  You're out of control yeah--and you want someone to tell you
  When you wake up in the morning it'll only be a dream
  You're out of control . . .
  
  There's a cloud-rollin' overhead and it seems to rain on no one else
  There's a black sun--casting a black shadow,
  and I know you feel so all alone
  You're out of control--and you want the world to love you
  Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know
  That you live and breathe and suffer
  And your back is in the corner and you've got nowhere to go
  
  Nothin' for nothin'--everything's right at your fingertips--for a price
  Who ever said that life on this planet would ever be paradise
  I say--don't throw it away, you've got too many things to say
  If you throw your life, if you throw away your life . . .
  THe world will never be the same
  
  CHORUS
  
  You're out of control--and you move without direction
  And people look right through your soul
  You're out of control--and you want someone to tell you
  When you wake up in the morning it'll only be a dream
  And I wish that I could tell you, it'll only be a dream
