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 would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
I
don't know where the sunbeams end and that the starlights begin
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, I was the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end and
that the starlights begin
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
I'd do no good
I should have fought him but instead I
let him, I let him take you
I don't know where the sunbeams end and that the starlights
begin
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
