I'm just too unwise to be this old
And I'm not cool enough to be this cold
I'm too lost now or maybe I'm found out
I'm too unsure of the things I doubt
I have places to go that don't want me there
I have people to see but I don't want to stare
If you ask me how I might only try to tell you why
But the truth to tell I don't want to lie
I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'll hope for the best
I'm going to take my chances
And hope that I'm blessed
I'm gonna raise my voice
I will give you my word
I gonna say what I mean
And hope that I'm heard
Oh now heaven's not a place that I have seen
It is not a place that I will have been
But when I return, I just might, want to let you know
If there's a place that you can go
Try to catch my breath and hear me out
Please let me whisper because I don't want to shout
I woke up in a world that I really just don't understand
I am part of a fate that is out of my hands
I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'll hope for the best
I'm going to take my chances
And hope that I'm blessed
I'm gonna raise my voice
I will give you my word
I gonna say what I mean
And hope that I'm heard
I learnt my lesson but they changed the rules
I worked my way but they took my tools
I lost my voice in the endless chatter
I broke my heart but it didn't matter
I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'll hope for the best
I'm going to take my chances
And hope that I'm blessed
I'm gonna raise my voice
I will give you my word
I gonna say what I mean
And hope that I'm heard
I'm gonna close my eyes
And I'll hope for the best
I'm going to take my chances
And hope that I'm blessed
I'm gonna raise my voice
I will give you my word
I gonna say what I mean
And hope that I'm heard
