You wonder why you wonder when,
You wonder how now and then,
How you became who you've become

You are here, And yet you dream of being there,
Of being where you think the good life has begun


Every darkened hallway, Every fallen dream,
Every battle lost and Every shadow in between
Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason


And there's no making cases, For getting out or trading places
And there's no turning back, No you are here


Who can say who made the choice,
In the matter of your birth

Who brought about that fateful day,
Well you are here and born with fire and desire
You're the only one can stand in your own way


And every broken arrow, Every hardened smile
Every foolish gamble and Every lonely mile

Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason

And there's no making cases For getting out or trading places

And there's no turning back No you are here

And every sign of love, Every seed that's growing

Every sweet surrender To that silent knowing
Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason


And there's no making cases For getting out or trading places
And there's no turning back No you are here...
