Beyond The Blues

[verse 1]
Feeling like you've been betrayed
At each and every turn,
The faith that used to carry you is gone...
Bridges that you've barely crossed
Already start to burn,
Just one more cross to nail yourself upon...
[climb 1]
Why are you falling when you know could fly?
Don't stand out in the rain and curse the sky!
[chorus 1]
This is the world,
With the all-too-often sound of slamming doors...
This is the world,
Where the benefit of doubt is never yours...
It's the climb that proves too steep,
Or the words that cut too deep,
And the hurt that drives your heart down to your shoes,
'Til you're so beyond the blues.
[verse 2]
Waiting at the crossroads with
Your spirit giving out,
You hesitate for fear of turning wrong...
Every intersection holds
Another cause for doubt,
You spin your wheels and never move along...
[climb 2]
Why are you stalling when you know should ride?
The highway and horizon won't collide!
[chorus 2]
This is the world,
Where the best-laid plans unravel from the start...
This is the world,
Where the crosswinds echo coldly through your heart...
Nothing's ever what it seems,
And you lose the sight of dreams
As they disappear down dead-end avenues,
'Til you're so beyond the blues.
[bridge]
I hear you quoting chapter and verse,
How every blessing turns to a curse,
You're drowning in a deluge,
While dying from the thirst...
Well I've been there, and one thing I know,
You're gonna find yourself all alone
With nothing left behind you,
And nowhere else to go...
[short instrumental]
[chorus 3 - modulate full step]
This is the world,
And in spite of all, still worthy of the dance...
This is the world,
Where tomorrow always lends another chance...
Take my hand and come with me,
We can face uncertainty,
And with heart and soul we'll live the life we choose,
So far beyond the blues!
