Tom's power ballad goes classic rock.
Lyrics
So will I ever understand
The flow of the river, the lay of the land
Doing the dance we were taught long ago
We cling to our treasures, we won't let them go (we won’t let them go)
Sometimes illusion can keep us content
We look for some pleasure as we just make the rent
Searching for answers when the question is gray
It's all in the course of your average day
And you are inside of me, as the world we shape breaks free
And the triggers in our head, keep us dangling by a thread
Comfort is a distraction...breeding inaction...and getting no traction
Can we reach beyond today
To grasp a fate so far away
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Can our spirits be unchained
So will I ever feel complete
We look to advance but so often retreat
Lofty ideals that have guided my way
Fade to the background as we live day to day (we live day to day)
Little obsessions that consume all our thoughts
Reaching for life lines get us tied up in knots
Looking for something that might open the door
Sitting and watching as we wish we had more
And you are a part of me, as we try to find the key
But the habits in our mind, seem to keep us deaf and blind
Life lived as a reaction...to every infraction...is dissatisfaction
Can we reach beyond today
To grasp a fate so far away
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Can our spirits be unchained
