Close my eyes and ask myself a question   Why is it I do what I do?   Am I lookin' for some happy definition   Life and love in the corners of the truth?      Or am I just some, curious bystander   Lookin' at the world through a child's eyes   Sunlight always shinin' on my shoulders   While the storm rages on deep inside, deep inside      And it seems so hard to keep it all together   When the walls are fallin' down on every side   Yea, but I'll be damned, if I give up on it easy   I've worked too hard, to get the barricades this high      Is this world's a stage we're meant to play on?   Direction from inside on what to do   I know I should have all of the answers   Deep inside I haven't got a clue, not a clue      And it seems so hard, to keep it all together   When the walls are fallin' down on every side   Yea, but I'll be damned, if I give up on it easy   I've worked too hard, to get the barricades this high, yaa yeah      Told myself that I would be okay   Told myself I'd be all right no doubt   Somewhere low I know that I've been lying   Can't believe it took me thirty years   To figure that shit out      And it seems so hard, to keep it all together   When the walls are fallin' down on every side   Yea, but I'll be damned, if I give up on it easy   I've worked too hard to, get the barricades this high, yeah oh
