Before And Afterland

I know I'm forgiven whatever you think that I've done

Lots of hard living and searching around for some fun

Staring at heaven and twinkling stars oh so bright

That shine through the darkness, lift me up, and make me feel alright

I've been up real high
And I've fallen down
Up in the sky
Straight down to the ground

There right next to me, a drunk laying on his back
He's fallen off the track, and now he can't get back
He thinks he's losing his mind again

So I flipped him a dime to give my brother some peace of mind
I guess I'm everyone's friend
I fight the dragon and win
I wasn't born in this world to lose
My destiny's not for you to choose
