Who am I to question what I read in my book?
If I took another look I'd see someone new
But all I want is you
And I got the answers but the
Questions I could never seem to find,
So maybe I gotta deal with the
Things in my heart and the thorns in my mind,
They're tearing me apart.
I never believed in fate, but I believe in a plan
And plans change so you'd
Better be ready to roll with the punches that come
But we all get knocked out once in a while
So what's catching you?
Well, it's okay, everybody thinks that way
Everybody's scared of dying
So we're all justifying
But the bright northern lights keep shining
Keep shining on me
So tell me that I'm not crazy
I'm not the only one who worries about the road up ahead
For it seems the rain is getting stronger
The road is getting longer, the signs are
Harder to read with each pa**ing mile
But as long as I've got gas for a while
I can enjoy the view from my car
Be glad I made it this far
Listen to the radio playing the songs that,
Before too long, I'll look back on and
Say to myself with a great big smile, yeah
Man, those were the days.
No, no, no
Well, it's okay, everybody thinks that way
Everybody's scared of dying
So we're all justifying
But the bright northern lights keep shining
Keep shining on me
Even the best, at times,
Feel that they're all alone.
Even with peace of mind
the future's the great unknown.
Even the best of men have looked up
To the sky, wondering why-
Why can't things be easy?
No, no, no, no, no
I gotta slow things down
Gotta wake my mind up, gotta make up my mind
Am I living life like I've got something to hide behind?
Am I a fly on the scene?
Maybe I'm folding under the pressure from my parents
Or the magazines. Maybe I should think for myself.
What do I believe in? I don't know, just that
Jesus loves me, this I know,
And that's a good place to start from:
A good place to end.
