I thought i was smart
i thought i was right
i thought it better not to fight
i thought there was a virtue in always being cool
so when it cam time to fight
i thought thought i'll just step aside
and that time would prove you wrong and that you would be the fool
i don't know where the sunbeams end and the starlight begins
it's all a mystery
oh to fight is to defend if it's not now
then tell me when would be the time
that you would stand up and be a man
for to lose i could accept,but to surrender i just wept and regretted this moment
oh that i, i was the fool
i don't know where the sunbeams end and the starlight begins
it's all a mystery
and i don't know how a man decides what's right
for his own life
it's all a mystery 'cause i'm a man, not a boy
and there are things you can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared to face them
if i could i would but you're with him now
it'd do no good
i should have fought him but instead i let him
i let him take it
i don't know where the sunbeams end and the startlight begins,
it's all a mystery
and i don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life
it's all a mystery
