Lyrics:
Some nights I can’t sleep at all
My mind races and the time just crawls
But day breaks like it always does
Another chance to feed the fear or live the love
There’s too much at stake
To let it slip away
It’s your game day
Get out and play day
Don’t let the fear of the past
Get in the way
Remember why you came
The beauty and the pain
And there’s a million ways
For you to pray
I fight to hold on to hope
It’s a bumpy ride but it’s all I know
Please love, don’t give up, don’t leave
You’re the only thing that still makes sense to me
There’s too much at stake
To let it slip away
’Cause it’s your game day
Get out and play day
Don’t let the fear of the past
Get in the way
Remember why you came
The beauty and the pain
And there’s a million ways
For you to pray
It’s your game day
Get out and play day
Don’t let the fear of the past
Get in the way
Remember why you came
The beauty and the pain
And there’s a million ways
For you to pray

Well , that was odd ... I’m just listening and scrolling thru comments with a big smile on my face , and then I’m almost moved to tears ... like I was suddenly back reliving all the great moments of my life... I’m almost 60 yrs old , and I’m really not one to cry... but there it was ... so thank you for that ... and thank you for adding another great song to your long long list of great songs

I’ve never been so happy about a new song from my favorite band from the 90’s. This song is my happy place. Toad 100% but fresh. Awesome!!

[@barakokanteromasahista3247]

This is one of Toad's best songs. It has the perfect blend of melody, melancholy, the classic Toad guitar sound (I must acknowledge Todd), and of course, Glen's plaintive vocals. This is right up there with Something's Always Wrong, and it's certainly one of my all-time Toad favorites.

[@getumedge8702]

You know I haven’t had allot to smile about for a long time. The song brought a instant smile to my face as soon as I head the first 10 seconds. It’s like falling asleep in 1997 then waking up realizing it’s 2021. This is the 2021 version of TOAD and it’s simply awesome!

[@jajadingdong3324]

[@taylorh4480]

the lyric is actually "don't let the fear *or* the past get in the way" I misheard it at first as well but then heard Glen's acoustic versions and it's clearer what he's singing.

@@privatepenguin3137 I miss the conversations between us Squirrels and Glen’s stories (the requests have become tiresome and predictable for me, not for those who are being placated of course. Just what I’ve observed). That all being said, Glen says he will be back online, “around, or after August 12”.

[@SagarJJC]

Already loving this album and its not even out.

[@sidjonathan5405]

Cant go wrong with Toad :)

[@elijahcambry3319]

most of these are songs that I wouldn’t expect them to have put on the record so the jury still out until I hear it and have a chance to make a decision on how I feel about it. Glenn has been playing about 30 brand new songs during his sets over the last couple of years leading up to this record being made and there’s probably a solid 14 of them that would’ve made an amazing toad record and only two of those songs and ended up on the record. I understand they sort of went with the theme of hope in the face of adversity for the songs so maybe it’ll make sense once I hear it all together but they left a lot of great songs off and several of them are strong enough that it could’ve potentially landed them back at radio

[@irlellis3153]

Thanks Toad, for the bright notes in this life. Cheers and live the love!

[@TheAncientMysteriesBeckon]

There is indeed, too much at stake. Beyond individual relations.. Society crumbles, and yet my love for Mankind only grows despite the Chaos around us. Purpose, arises from Chaos. This, is fact.
