Ooo   Ooo   Ooo      Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up   Heartsick we nursed along the way we picked up   You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin   But we're better off for all that we let in      We've lost friends and loved ones much too young   There were so much promises and work left undone   When all that guards us is a single centerline   And the brutal crossing over when it's time      Ooo   (Well, I don't know where it all begins)   Ooo   (And I don't know where it all will end)   Ooo   (We're better off for all that we let in)      One day those toughies will be withered up and bent   The father son, the holy warriors and the President   With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see   Beaten into submission in the name of the free      We're in a nevolution, I have heard it said   And everyone's so busy now but do we move ahead   The planets hurting and atoms splitting   And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting      Ooo   (Well, I don't know where it all begins)   Ooo   (And I don't know where it all will end)   Ooo   (We're better off for all that we let in)      See those crosses on the side of the road   Tied with ribbons in the medium   They make me grateful, I can go this far   Lay me down and never wake me up again      Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck   We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck   The birds were calling to her, what were they saying   As the gate blew open in the tops of the trees were swaying      I've passed the cemetery, walk my dog down there   I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer   When I get home, you're cooking supper on the stove   And the greatest gift of life is to know love      Ooo   (Well, I don't know where it all begins)   Ooo   (And I don't know where it all will end)   Ooo   (We're better off for all that we let in)
