Lyrics

It's now or it's never, and I've got to

Make my decision

This time it could be my moment

Is this a mirage or a chance to fulfill my mission?


A river in a dry land

The last ace in a lost hand

A heartbeat for a tin man

Oasis in a singed land


I'm keeping the balance, but I'm standing

On razor's edge now

Move quick or my life is over

One strike, just a feint, then ...

I'm outa his field of vision

Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to

Strike him down now

A chance at a new start

There's no time for indecision


A river in a dry land

The last ace in a lost hand

When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet

Now we need it:

A heartbeat for a tin man

An oasis in a singed land

Remind us what we're here for:

Creating new life

Creating rivers in the desert


My heart is a furnace,

(It's) Hot as hell in my world of conflict

One goal is what keeps me going

Take back what I lost to ...

The bosses of greed and fear, yeah

Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to take

Them down now

The time for a new start

Is constantly drawing nearer


A river in a dry land

The last ace in a lost hand

When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet

Now we need it:

A heartbeat for a tin man

An oasis in a singed land

Remind us what we're here for:

Creating new life

Creating rivers in the desert


When a cool drop of water's all I need

Gotta clear my head of anger and greed

A place to refresh heart and mind,

Can I find

Some time in


Rivers in a dry land

The last ace in a lost hand

When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet

Now we need it:

A heartbeat for a tin man

An oasis in a singed land

Remind us what we're here for:

Creating new life

Creating rivers in the desert
