The streets run cold. The sun has set down. The skyline fades to black. He watches in wind blow. He puts on a pleasing mask. He seemingly is fine, but deep in his chest lie feelings like sadness untold. He says, "I can't believe my eyes no more! No more!" CHORUS: Back in an alley of deepened regret there is a man. There is a man who thinks he's failed but I can't help myself from wondering why cause here I am. Cause here I am, but his cheeks are wet! But his cheeks are wet, with deep regret! His car is old; running, just barely running. But that just won't bother him, he deals with what he's dealt. With daylight he dreams of peace; a vision of grandeur! He says, "I just can't run this race no more! no more!" CHORUS With all my heart I say to him, "I didn't do so well." "But to me you won," he says to me, "you rose each time you fell." If they could only see the giant; see the wisdom; live the shadow he has made! Each step I take for him to live up to his name. If I prove my worth and thwart life's failures; leave the danger! Leave the danger! I'll prove to you that I'm no failure and he is all to blame! CHORUS |
