I've been outside the gate
I still don't feel that I made any mistake
when I got off that train

I felt my feet hit the ground
I didn't want to go
where that gravy train was bound

GOD help me to see
I've been loved all along
and not to get too confused

between the moonlight and the dawn
if I go back to the palace
I'll walk right thru' the gate

nobody knows how much here was at stake
I might get on that train
in feel the wheel on the train

move it on up the mountain like a foregone fact
GOD help me to know
I've been in love my whole life

and not to get so confused
between the struggle and the strife
