As the sun comes creepin' up at dawn
Wondering if you can learn something before you're gone
Before the moon's at it's highest, before you sleep
Before you're away for then nothing you'll keep
As maybe these words can be something you like
Something to heal on a long winter's hike
As maybe the snow covers the rock that made you fall
And you look around saying this can't be all
But your mind just needs that one thing special
One thing to stop and make you concern, one speckle
Of hope that maybe there could be a lot more
And maybe it's just a few blocks down from your door
It could just all be stalled, but it would continue
Eventually before the next venue
A tire could just be flat, get out the jack
You got to work hard, even with the weight of the world on your back
They'll kick you when you're down, but just get up
Even if it means you're as weak as a newborn pup
But what else should I say, what should I do
What would make you clench your fists, what would appease you
What would have you screaming to the high heavens
What would you say if you were told seven lies
And you knew they were lies, but didn't try
To stop them
To drop them
To tease them, to unease them
And you don't know damn well how to please them
And they get mad if you know the truth
That they'd even think of knocking out a front tooth
Well man you can just do what you will
Cause what's done is done, and it ain't on no dollar bill
It ain't on the lightning thats a-showin'
It ain't in rambles that he's a-knowin'
It ain't in the fires that's a-turnin'
Or to whom it's concernin'
It's just going to be there, so live with it
It's a piece of the puzzle that don't quite fit
But you push it in and convince yourself it's right
On this cold, dreary, wet summer's night
You dont have the strength to fight, the strength to tell
Yourself that all is not well
You just go along with it cause it's simple
Don't care about the meaning of this new symbol
Voice an opinion and be exiled
Or follow the group in style
Scream your mind, go about shoutin'
Or be another tree on the largest mountain
Be another blade of grass in a painting-like park
Be another fish eaten by a shark
But I'll just go my own way, follow my own roads
Roll the dice and hope everything flows
Fly the flag and hope it runs smooth
Cause to you maybe i still have something to prove
Something to say at the dead end
Something to wish for 'round the bend
