Fight Test

I thought I was smart - I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight -
I thought there was a Virtue in always being cool -
so when it came time to Fight I thought- I'll just step aside and that time would
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool -

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins-
it's all a mystery

Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man -
for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wet and regretted this moment -
oh that I -
I Was the fool

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life -
it's all a mystery

Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
You can't avoid
you have to face them when you're not prepared
To face them -
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good
I should have fought him but instead I let him -
I let
Him take it -

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Light begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
