Did you make your bed?
Did you lose your head?
Are you still awake
From the things you said
You close your eyes
But the sleep won't come
\`Cause you can't escape
What's said and done
Did you draw the line
In the sand again
Did you make a stand
Out on a limb
Don't be so hard on yourself
'Cause you can't change the world
You can't change the world alone
Just be
You drink too much
\`Cause you think too much
It seems so hard to feel
All that is real
You numb your heart
So you feel no pain'
Then you miss the bliss
Of the pouring rain
But there's a brand new day
It's a shame to waste
It's yours to live
It's yours to taste
Don't be so hard on yourself
'Cause you can't change the world
You can't change the world alone
Just be
Don't be so hard on yourself
'Cause you can't change the world
You can't change the world alone
Just be

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.)
