Oh can't you see that this is something
I must try and do alone
I cannot rearrange the chemistry
that so freely flows
The conquest finds me fearful
Perhaps behind me lays my satisfaction
What I really want to know
Is am I getting closer to you?
Or am I drifting far away
With the changing of each season?
Is there any promised land
outside of each and every day?
Where is it I'm going to and when I get there can I stay?
The sunset leaves me worried
and all through the night
I lay Keeping up hope
That somehow the light
will find a way back just for me
So I can write about confusion and my fantasy
So I can cry about the hatred and the fallacies
That keeps me struggling on
For I am like a wild mountain flower
that has finally died
My fragrance lingers if you'll stop and take the time
A pa**ion not to change your dreams
But to keep them all from finally going under
What I really want to say
Is any of this getting to you?
Or am I crying out on deaf ears
While within me boils the thunder
Of a pure love that is so freely given away
Does it make you want to run
or does the power force you to stay?
I am destined not to please this crowd
with truth I can't betray
Keeping up hope
That somehow the light
will find a way back just for you
So I can write about the answer
with a question or two
So I can smile about the reason
why I do what I must do
To keep me struggling on
Lord you keep me struggling on
