Of all the toils, and all the spoils you would spread
And every speech that you would dread in front of crowds,
or in your bed late at night, rehearsing all those silly fights.
Every argument a light to the candle in your head.
And you are stronger than you know
Each road lined with black top's paved with gold
If you'd just travel it,
And just for once don't mind your funds
or how you'd like to eat just once this week or this month.
Ain't it funny how our dreams are all laid out?
but life gets in the way, so we live on day to day.
I guess I'm stronger than I know
and each stage is stained with gold
Each silver microphone couldn't say
What I want to say,
What I need to say,
What I've gotta say.
All the times you were exposed, stripped bareback naked in a field of eyes
Alone but for your pen, for your friends, for your sins
I guess I'm stronger than I know
and each stage is stained with gold
Each silver microphone couldn't say
What I want to say,
What I need to say,
What I've gotta say.
