Some people live their lives real rough
Some live it out pain free
Some can never have enough
If not then don't blame me

Some are blessed with luck of the Irish
Some luck of the draw
Some get a hit or a miss
Some no luck at all

Some might reach the highest heights
Some the lowest lows
Either way in life you find
You never know which way it goes

Some find they lean to the right
Some totter to the left
Some have to clinch their fists real tight
To hold onto what little they have

Some move in the right circles
Some squarely are not there
For some this is a rehearsal
Living life without a care

Some have come and some have gone
Some of us still here
Waiting for what's next to come
That will make all of this, for some clear

chew on my thoughts
swallow my pride
desires and wants
i must deny

the bitter taste
inside of me
i must face and erase
to set myself free

stir up my thoughts
give them to God
not just a taste
but the entire lot

take all i have
take it to heart
now is the time
to give it to God

God only knows
What you go through
The trouble in life
That life throws at you
With its up's and down's
Don't give up on hope
Only God knows
What God only knows

Only God knows
To tell you the truth
Of the troubled times
That trouble you
In these times you find
Don't lose out on hope
God only knows
What only God knows

God only knows
How much you're hurting
Through the sorrows and throes
It will be worth it
Follow it through
With all confidence and hope
That only God knows
What God only knows

We take our turn with what we've learned
Years of experience
Candles burned; both ends I've heard
Is no way to live

As the world turns, we move beyond
Where we once had been
Close the shades on progress made
Cause here we go again

Last in line, every time
We try our best to get ahead
Struggling with memory
Never learning to accept

What lays ahead if there's any left
Living in this robber's den
We act surprised when we find
That here we go again

From A to Z we're in too deep
This life of compromise
We concede there's nothing free
Not even a hard time

When the rules are made for fools
Life becomes a hit and miss
We all must have missed that bus
Cause here we go again

Sometimes I get to thinking
I can't help myself
Losing to life's meaning
Wishing I was someone else

It doesn't seem I'm happy
With who I truly am
A part of me thinks sadly
I wish I could but can't

Which drives me even deeper
Than I could hope to go
Fooled by the great deceiver
Losing out on hope

That I might climb out of this
If I only knew the way
Being my own Judas kiss
In whom I choose to betray

Which brings me back to circling
In the way I think
It's only me I'm hurting
With these thoughts I keep

Wishing I was someone else
Instead of whom I'm meant to be
Too often now, I've lost count
With all these things I socially think

are you afraid
to make a mistake
then have to pay the consequences

while all along
straddling on
the rail between two fences

never drawing the line
between the two sides
keeping your eyes out of focus

plan where you land
being soft sand
at least that's where your hope is

it's hard to believe
when caught in mid-leap
being so out of control

only to find
on the day that you die
the cost was, your very soul

Pick up your signs
And join in the fight
There’s nonsense to protest
In this waste of life

Here to make a difference
But what difference does it make
When the next thing comes along
There’s always someone new to hate

Pick up your signs
For the next big lie
Follow your convictions
In the latest do or die

With little a doubt
In search of a valid point
Along with the crowd
Noses all out of joint

Pick up your signs
Along with the not so bright
Only guessing at questions
In this one-dimensional life

With this cause just because
You think there's a cross to bear
Pick up your signs
This is going nowhere
