The times that we are in
Will soon enough take its toll
On a worn out man
With a weary soul

With a heart and head
That is filled with jagged rocks
With what little can be gained
And far less little got

You can stand your ground
Or find the line of compromise
Depends on how far down
You care to take today's dive

I have heard it said
It's often good to change
But how much change you give away
Depends on how broken you are that day

Try as hard with all my might
Hoping you don't mind
With this heart and head
Take it all in stride

As we find the world outside
Can leave you bitter cold
On a worn out man
With a bitter soul
