Oh, I give them this life to do what they will.
They've got to find their way from here.
(Oh, show us the way.)
If they only knew.
(Oh, show us the light.)
Oh, show them what light?

It shines from within. They make their own day.
They make their own night. And sometimes they win.
(Oh, show us the way.)
But they always get through.
(Oh, show us the light.)

Oh, why do they come and ask for more?
They've got stars they don't have wishes for.
They're just givin' up their blame to me.
Oh, how do those fools survivie?

I'm wonderin' why; I'm wonderin' how
they're gonna bail themselves out, now.
(Oh, give us this day.)
I'm shakin' my head.
(Oh, keep us through night.)

Oh, I hand them this life to do what they will.
They've got to make their way from here.
(Oh, show us the way.)
If they only knew.
(Oh, show us the light.)

Oh, why do they come and ask for more?
They've got stars they don't have wishes for.
They're just givin' up their blame to me.
Oh, how do the fools survivie?

It's not like it was before.
Not like it was before.
When they call, I won't come runnin'.
It was so long ago.
I left them on their own.

Oh, how do those fools survive?

Oh, how can they come and ask for more?
They've got stars they don't have wishes for.
They're just givin' up their blame to me.
Oh, how do the fools survivie?
