I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight

I thought there was a virtue, in always being cool
So it came time to fight
I thought "I'll just step aside"

And that the time will prove you wrong
And that you would be a fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end

And the starlight begins
It's all a mystery
Oh. To fight is to defend

If it's not now then tell me when
Would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man

For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment

oh that
I was the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end

And the starlight begins
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides

What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
'Cause I'm a man, not a boy

And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them

If I could I would
But you're with him, now it'd do no good
I should've fought him

But instead I let him
I let him take it
