[Verse]
As the sun shines through the trees
And I feel that summer breeze
Gotta get up off my knees and seize the day
Sometimes it's hard to see
Through the fogginess in me
But the truth lies far away and in-between

[Chorus]
I think we found our way
Coming out the other side
Now it's just another day
Coming out the other side

[Chorus]
I think we found our way
Coming out the other side
Now it's just another day
Coming out the other side...

Styx is a rock band from Chicago formed in 1970. They enjoyed great success with pop rock and hard rock songs, and became famous for their power ballads and album releases of the mid 1970s and early 80s.

The band has gone through some famously nasty internal struggles, drug problems, illnesses and deaths, but continues to perform today (with a significantly altered line-up). Tommy Shaw, from Montgomery, AL, left but returned to the band. Drummer John Panozzo developed a debilitating drinking problem and ultimately died. Dennis DeYoung developed an acute case of photosensitivity, and he left the band. They fought among themselves for control of the band name. Glen Burtnik also left and returned, this time on bass, to replace Chuck Panozzo (John’s brother), who had also left the band. (whew.)
