There is no understanding in this hostile age
Sometimes I feel just like a rat locked in a cage
Its hard to live beyond the walls
It aint no life at all
But dont you tear it down
Chorus:
Take your chances, Ill take mine
Chasing thunder is only wasted time
Got no reason to walk that line
Heavens waiting if I can make it home tonight
And with the years Ive found a faith that gets me by
It shows me the truth in a hurricane of lies
My babys left a light for me
Thats really all I need
They wont 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 Im going, gotta get me there tonight
Im holding on to what I can
Like any other lucky man
Love wont strike me, love wont sell me out
Repeat chorus
