[Intro: Brian]
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Nick]
You see me sitting here, a smile upon my face
The time has come
But you know that it's not too late
There's been too many things
Together we have seen
It's not that hard if we start to believe

[Pre-Chorus: Brian]
And we're not going to take anymore
Can we try to erase all the pain?
So please...

[Chorus: All]
Show me a reason, give me a sign
Tell me the way we fall out of line
Is it today or is it tonight?
We'll find, the answer to our life

[Verse 2: AJ]
This world is not at ease
We seem to hide the truth
Thinking there's only
So much we can really do
It's up to you and me to face our destiny
The jury's here so let's take the stand

[Pre-Chorus: Nick]
And we're not going to take anymore
Can we try to erase all the pain?
So please...

[Chorus: All & AJ]
Show me a reason, give me a sign
Tell me the way we fall out of line
(We fall out of line)
Is it today or is it tonight?
We'll find (we will find)
The answer to our life

[Bridge: Howie & Brian]
So, tell me why we have to cry (and not try)
When there's so many things we can do
To help this troubled world start a new
I need a reason, I need a sign
There's no turning back I'm here by your side
Is it today or maybe tonight?
We'll find the answer to our life

[Chorus: All, Nick, (AJ) & Brian]
Show me the way, give me a sign
Tell me the way we fall out of line
Is it today? Is it tonight?
The answer to our life
Show me a reason, give me a sign
Tell me the way we fall out of line
Is it today or is it tonight?
We will find, the answer to our life
Show me a reason, give me a sign (oh yeah)
Tell me the way we, fall out of line (fall out of line)
Is it today or is it tonight? (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We'll find, the answer to our life

Backstreet Boys

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
