Evryman For Himself - Daniel Knox

The legs go limp

The arms will tire

Evry life will soon expire

And weather it’s the time or place

The fist will have to kiss your face

The grand façade

The phoney smile

Will keep you busy for a while

But evry ounce of strength left in you

Lacks the courage to continue

If you feel your luck isn’t changing

Close your eyes instead of complaining

Wait around if you are willing

Hopes and dreams will end up killing you

The car will crash

The phone will die

Sometimes you fail before you try

And you can pray for something nice

But no one promised paradise

Held up in traffic

Or down on your knees

Struck with disaster or disease

In between apology and praise

You find you wasted all your days

And if you feel you luck isn’t changing

Close your eyes instead of complaining

Wait around if you are willing

Hopes and dreams will end up killing you
