Song Du' Jour Songtext
von Kerry Livgren

Another morning comes
Another chance to get it right
Another evening falls
Looks like I lost another fight
Younger but older, my fire′s getting colder each day
Hearts keep on beating, but I'm not retreating

(And) I keep slipping even as I′m climbing
I keep falling even as I rise
Reaching upward am I moving downward
All my wisdom makes me so unwise

Just like a baby, I can't see an end to my days
(Oh, but) I keep pretending but, cheating the piper never pays
Younger but older, my fire's getting colder each day
Hearts keep on beating, but I′m not retreating


(And) I keep slipping even as I′m climbing
I keep falling even as I rise
Reaching upward am I moving downward
All my wisdom cuts me down to size

(I'm just a man)
Give me a ticket to - a place where I′m not in control
I need a hand to hold, the other half to make me whole

(And) Out there it's somewhere, and
When I find my way there, I′ll know
Hearts keep on beating but I'm not retreating

I′m tired of slipping even as I'm climbing
No more falling every time I rise
Looking upward, I am moving downward

(And) Out there it's somewhere, when I find my way there
(I′ll know) I′m tired of slipping even as I'm climbing
No more falling every time I rise
Looking upward am moving downward
