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 it came time to fight I thought I'll just step aside And that the time would prove you wrong And that you would be the fool I don't know where the sunbeams end And the starlight begins It's all a mystery Oh. To fight is to defend If it's not now then 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 wept And regretted this moment oh that I was the fool I don't know where the sunbeams end And the starlight begins It's all a mystery And I don't know how a man decides What's 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've fought him But instead I let him I let him take it
