lyrics

I get down on my knees and pray
To help me find my way
They say the Lord forgives a penitent man

I’m frightened that I’ll never be
Your ticket to prosperity
I’ll do the best I can

I stand up on my roof and scream
“I am who I am”
As the western wind blows back my eastern hair

The challenge isn’t finding love
Or even the promised land
It’s the road we travel getting there

Strip away all our doubts and misgivings
Strip away all we think to be right
Strip away all the signs that tell us how to feel
‘Cause in the end baby all that is left here is real

I remember growing up
In the lanes of Park Ex
Memories still linger in my head

Life was so much simpler then
Hot summer nights with all my friends
No one ever thought about bed

Now I sit and contemplate
All that I have done
And wonder if it was ever enough

With higher mountains left to climb
So many dreams and little time
Do I still have the stuff
