It's gonna get worse before it gets better
I wrote it down in a love letter
Sang it for you
I know that love is the only redeemer
Everything else is just a make believer
Everything else
How can you say you'll change when you're gripping the knife
When you're dressed in forms of a previous life
Won't you lay down your sword
Your shield and your pride
Just ride in the river, crashin' on rock
Comin' up for air or just floating along
We're all shaped like driftwood
All you got to do is find some truth and see it through
Even the words that I learned from my father
Are shining a light in the face of the darkness
Shining a light
I know what I need and I already have it
You think it's the money
I've already spent it
You think it's for glory
I'll only regret it
The story you sold
I already forget it
I'm paying the rent, my head's above water
What drove the wheel is the weight we are under
Tell me how and why we're not bothered
How and why
Now some go kicking, some willing lay down
Most already live with both feet in the ground
Some won't let go. Some won't leave home
Some find it easier if they just don't know
And all we got to do is keep kicking the door until the light shines through
