Looking over my shoulder It's a wonder I can laugh at all When I get a better view of the shape I'm in If I listen to the critics The future is a lost cause I might as well pack it up and cash it in In the middle of the madness A man gets tempted to negotiate Strike a deal and sell his soul for the compromise But then a voice, like a bell Makes him turn and walk the other way The lesson cuts like a knife, but the man survives Call it an act of God's own mercy Call it a case of more than the eye can see Call it faith or just wishful thinking But the darker it gets, the more that I believe So here I go again Here I go again A wise man said most people die With the music still inside of them What a shame in a world so in need of a song As long as my heart has a rhythm You're gonna hear from me again, again I got a melody or two before I'm gone Call it an act of God's own mercy Call it a case of more than the eye can see Call it faith or just wishful thinking But the darker it gets, the more that I believe So here I go again Here I go again and again Call it an act of God's own mercy Call it a case of more than the eye can see Call it faith or just wishful thinking But the darker it gets, the more that I believe Call it an act of God's own mercy Call it a case of more than the eye can see Call it faith or just wishful thinking But the darker it gets, the more that I believe So here I go again Here I go again Here I go again
