"Before And Afterland" lyrics

"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 o so bright
That shine through the darkness, lift me up and make me feel right
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 piece 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
