There is no understanding in this hostile age

Sometimes i feel just like a rat locked in a cage

It's hard to live beyond the walls

It ain't no life at all

But don't you tear it down



Chorus:

Take your chances, i'll take mine

Chasing thunder is only wasted time

Got no reason to walk that line

Heaven's waiting if i can make it home tonight



And with the years i've found a faith that gets me by

It shows me the truth in a hurricane of lies

My baby's left a light for me

That's really all i need

They won't bring me down



Repeat chorus



Aimlessly rushing leaves you with nothing

You need some loving to make you feel alive

In less than a moment, life can be stolen

I know where i'm going, gotta get me there tonight



I'm holding on to what i can

Like any other lucky man

Love won't strike me, love won't sell me out



Repeat chorus
