They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun It will just go black, it will just go back, to the way it was before I knew a lovely girl, with such pretty pride And every man wanted her, yeah and so did ISo did I, but she up and died in a fit of vanity Now men with purple hearts, carry silver guns And they will kill a man for what his father has done But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit I'm not him And you think I need some discipline, well, I have my share Now I have been sent to my room I've been sat in a chair And I held my tongue I didn't plug my ears, no, I got a good talking to And now I don't know why, but I still try to smile When they talk at me like I'm just a child Well, I'm not a child, no, I am much younger than that But now I have read some books and have grown quite brave If I could just speak up I think I would say that there is no truth There is only you and what you make the truth So I'll just sing my song and I'll pass a hat Then I'll leave your town and never look back No, I don't look back Because the road is clear and laid out ahead of me And I'll get home and meet my friends at our favorite bar We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts And we will share a drink, yeah we will share our fears And they will know how I love them They will know how I loveThey will know how I love them I am nothing without their love Now I don't know when but a day is gonna come When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun It will all go black, it will all go back to the way it is supposed to be Is it true what I heard about the Son of God? Did He die for us? Did He die at all? And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold to you Which one of us would be the foolish one? Which one of us would be the fool?
