The Answer Lies Within

Dream Theater

Look around
Where do you belong
Don't be afraid
You're not the only one

Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by, in doubt
The Answer Lies Within

Life is short
So learn from your mistakes
And stand behind
The choices that you make

Face each day
With both eyes open wide
And try to give
Don't keep it all inside

Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by, in doubt
The Answer Lies Within

You've got the future on your side
You gonna be fine now
I know whatever you decide
You're gonna shine

Don't let the day go by
Don't let it end
Don't let a day go by, in doubt
You're ready to begin

Don't let a day go by, in doubt
The Answer Lies Within

    General CommentFirst of all, this song is beautiful.
    The music is pretty good, but the reason that it's looked down upon is because the lyrics are so fucking cliche it's ridiculous.

    General CommentThis song is greatm, I love the way it builds up and the lyrics really mean alot ot me.

    To me it's about growing up and becoming a character of yourself, and not being scared of expressing that.

    Although I doubt thats what it's suppose to be about.

    General CommentThis song is absolutely great. Those DT "fans" who say it sucks are people who pretend to be hardcore rockers and deny that life has its moments of reflection and looking within oneself.

    General CommentThis song sounds similar to metallica's "Nothing Else Matters." ALways trust your instincts and stand behind your choices without regards to what anyone else thinks.

    General CommentI think this song is about facing the Troubles of day to day life and living each day to the fullest becaus life is short and about being open with other people and not bottling it all inside...
