How come there's so many people willing to suffer So they get up and suffer everyday They think they were put on this earth to suffer And by God they're gonna suffer Until they suffer their lives away Home come so many are willing to say There is no sense there is no plan Yet they will not believe not believe the ancient mysteries Passed down through time into their hands
If my choice is despair or wonder On the line between truth and belief Do I just let the tide take me under Or do I let the fascination come on and rain all over me
Or questions will all you find
The grooves in my life were unforgiving Over the years I laid them down night after night Work eat sleep work eat sleep Until I was dragged into the light into the stillness Into the white hot flame of my deepest fears And as I came crashing through humbled and true I was better than I'd been in years
If my choice is end or beginning In my perception between death and life I'll keep on with this message I'm sending We may not know how or when But don't you want to know why? More from Melissa Etheridge
