So hard to answer future's riddle
When ahead is seeming so far behind
So hard to laugh a child-like giggle

When the tears start to torture my mind
So hard to shed the life of before
To let my soul automatically soar


But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me

Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Sew up the wounds of evolution

And the now starts to get in my way
So what if life's a revelation
If the mind speaks of only today

So real, the pain growing in my soul
Of climbing up to reality's goal


But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down


Long promised road
Trail starts at dawn

Carries on to the season's ending
Long promised road
Flows to the source, gentle force, never ending, never ending


So hard to lift the jeweled sceptre
When the weight turns a smile to a frown

So hard to drink of passion nectar
When the taste of life's holding me down
So hard to plant the seed of reform

To set my sights on defeating the storm

So I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down


Oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah

Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down


Oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah

Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down


I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you

I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you
