Every now and then there stands a man beside me  He's standing right beside me but he's not there  I look him in the eyes, they're the eyes of a stranger  I keep running, man, this ain't fair  Every now and then I see  All the world has given me  Ain't that what life's all about?  Got to struggle to be free  Set your mind on higher things  Get in, win, and then get out  Every now and then there stands a man behind me  He's standing right behind me but I'm not there  He looks me in the eyes, they're the eyes of a stranger  I'm not running, man, I'm not scared  Now the problem seems to be  All the time for you and me  Well, ain't that what life's all about?  Got to struggle to be free  Set your mind on higher things  Get in, win, and then get out
